The arrangement shown — hydrophilic heads facing outward and hydrophobic tails facing inward — is the basis of
- Acheck_circle
Cell-membrane phospholipid bilayer
- B
Cellulose microfibril cell-wall layer
- C
Globular protein folded in cytoplasm
- D
Double helix of nucleic-acid strands
Explanation
Amphipathic phospholipids spontaneously self-assemble into a bilayer in aqueous environments — the structural foundation of all biological membranes.
