1 Phospholipid A phospholipid is a type of lipid used in the cells of living things.

2 Phospholipid Chemically speaking, phospholipids are composed of a molecule containing a phosphate group (PO 4 ), 2 fatty acids, and a glycerol molecule.

3 Phospholipids form the structure of the cell membrane. Two layers of phospholipids form a bilayer due to the hydrophilic nature of the phosphate head of the molecule and the nonpolar hydrophobic tail. hydrophilic phosphate (PO 4 ) hydrophobic fatty acid tail

Plasma Membrane Notes. CHARACTERISTICS: Maintains homeostasis (balance with environment) Selective permeability – allows some molecules into the cell.

(Phospholipid Bilayer). The Cell Membrane is Semi-Permeable or Selectively Permeable. This means it only allows certain substances to enter/exit the cell.
