What part of the cell membrane is NONPOLAR?

• Cholesterols

• Phospholipid heads

• Proteins

• Phospholipid tails

Why do the phospholipid tails line up the way they do?

• They are polar and trying to get away from the water.

• They are hydrophobic and trying to get away from the water.

• They are polar and want to be in the water.

• They are hydrophilic and want to be in the water.
