Phospholipid Define Term Bilayer Arrangement Found Cell Membranes 

The phospholipid bilayer is the arrangement of phospholipids in cell membranes, with hydrophilic heads on the outer and inner surfaces sandwiching the hydrophobic fatty acid tails.

La bicapa fosfolipídica es la disposición de los fosfolípidos en las membranas celulares, con las cabezas hidrofílicas en las superficies y un núcleo hidrofóbico de colas de ácido graso en el interior.
