Each end of a phospholipid has different properties: the phosphate 'head' is hydrophilic (water-attracting), and the fatty acid 'tails' are hydrophobic (water-repelling).
Cada extremo de un fosfolípido tiene propiedades diferentes: la 'cabeza' de fosfato es hidrofílica (atraída por el agua) y las 'colas' de ácidos grasos son hidrofóbicas (repelen el agua).
