Answer:b a hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail

Explanation:

Histrionicus

The phospholipids of plasma membranes contain - a.  ​a hydrophilic head and two hydrophobic tails.

The phospholipids in the plasma membrane are arranged in two layers, called a phospholipid bilayer. Each phospholipid molecule has a head and two tails.

  • The head “loves” water (hydrophilic) and the tails “hate” water (hydrophobic).
  • The water-hating tails are on the interior of the membrane, whereas the water-loving heads point outwards, toward either the cytoplasm or the fluid that surrounds the cell.
  • The head portion remains outside the membrane whereas the tail is hydrophobic which remains in the interior of the membrane.

Thus, the phospholipids of plasma membranes contain - a.  ​a hydrophilic head and two hydrophobic tails.
