Answer: Option E.

The tails of the molecule are hydrophilic.

Explanation:

Phospholipids are the major constituents of cell membranes. Each phospholipids contain two fatty acids molecule, one glycerol group and one phosphate group. They form a bilayer when place in water. Phospholipids have hydropilic phosphate heads and hydrophobic lipid tails, the tails congregate in the middle. Phospholipids are important in regulating somecellular processes and aid drug delivery. Examples include phosphatidylchloine and phosphatidylserine.
