All of the liquid molecules in cell membranes amphipathic (or amphiphilic) -that is, they have a hydrophilic ("water loving") or polar end and a hydrophobic ("water fearing") or nonpolar end. The most abundant membrane lipids are the phospholipids. These have a polar head group and two hydrophobic hydrocarbon tails.


Hope that Helps :)
