Which one is correctly matched with the tail of a phospholipid?
Correct answer: B. Hydrophobic
- A. Hydrophilic
- B. Hydrophobic
- C. Light absorbing
- D. Porphyrin ring
Explanation
All of the lipid molecules in the cell membrane are amphipathic; that means that they have a hydrophillic(water-loving) or polar head and a hydrophobic (water-fearing) or non-polar tail.

About Cell Structure and Function
Animal, plant, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells are compared through their membranes, cell walls, nuclei and cytoplasmic organelles. The work includes the structures and functions of mitochondria, chloroplasts, ribosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus and lysosomes, as well as chromosome organization and the distinction between chromatin and chromosomes.
