Phospholipids are linear molecules with one polar end and one nonpolar end. How does this structure relate to their function in cell membranes?
- The polar tails of phospholipids form the inside of the cell membrane.
- The nonpolar heads of phospholipids form the outside of the cell membrane.
- The polar heads of phospholipids combine to form the middle of the cell membrane, with the tails on the outside.
- The nonpolar tails of phospholipids combine to form the middle of the cell membrane, with the heads on the outside.
