Question
The lipid molecules present in plasma membrane have polar heads and non-polar tails (as shown in figure). Which option represents the correct arrangement of lipids in lipid bilayer?
Step 1
This means that they are organized in two layers, with each layer consisting of lipid molecules. Show more…

The image shows a lipid bilayer, with the polar heads represented by circles and the hydrophobic tails represented by lines. Add the fatty acids into the lipid bilayer to indicate a structure that, when incorporated into a phospholipid, would result in a more fluid membrane with a lower melting point. Be sure to insert the fatty acids into the bilayer in the correct orientation.
