What is Functions and Properties of Phospholipids about?
Phospholipids are major components of cell membranes that have a hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tail. They form a bilayer structure when exposed to water due to their amphiphilic nature. Phospholipids perform many essential functions, including forming membranes, participating in cellular respiration and transport of lipids, and acting as precursors for eicosanoids. The two main classes are glycerophospholipids containing glycerol and sphingophospholipids containing sphingosine.
