The first phospholipid was identified in 1847. It was first found in a biological tissues called lecithin in the egg yolk of chickens by the French chemist and pharmacist Theodore Nicolas Gobley. Phospholipids are linear molecules with one hydrophilic end and one hydrophobic end. How
does this structure relate to their function in cell membranes? .
O The hydrophobic tails of phospholipids fom the outside of the cell membrane while the polar heads form the inside and have various protelins
studded throughout.
O The nonpolar heads of phospholipids form the outside of the cell membrane.
O The hydrophobic tails of phospholipids combine to form the middle of the cell membrane, with the heads on the outside.
O The hydrophilic heads of phospholipids combine to fom the middle of the cell membrane, with the heads on the outside.
