Abstract Abstract Image Phospholipid bilayers spontaneously spread on a hydrophilic substrate such as glass in aqueous solution due to the The main component of the cell membrane is a phospholipid bi-layer or sandwich The heads are polar while the tails are

Here the phospholipid rotates on its axis to interact with its immediate neighbours The second type of movement is lateral, where the The phospholipid bilayer consists of two adjacent sheets of phospholipids, arranged tail to tail The hydrophobic tails associate with one another, forming the
