Botany

The major lipids of cell membrane are phospholipids that are arranged in a bilayer. Also, the lipids are arranged within the membrane with the polar head towards the outside and the hydrophobic tail of saturated hydrocarbons towards the inner part. This ensures that the non-polar tail of saturated hydrocarbons is protected from the aqueous environment.
