Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The fundamental building blocks of all cell membranes are phospholipids, which are amphipathic molecules, consisting of two hydrophobic fatty acid chains linked to a phosphate-containing hydrophilic head group (see Figure 2.7).
Detailed explanation-2: -What type of lipid makes up the cell membrane? The cell membrane is made of two layers of phospholipids, called a phospholipid bilayer. Phospholipids are important because they are amphipathic. This means they have both hydrophilic portions and hydrophobic portions.
