What is Amphipathic Properties of Phosphoglycerides about?

Phosphoglycerides are found in cell membranes because they are amphipathic molecules with hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails. This allows them to form a bilayer structure that is selectively permeable, regulating what passes in and out of cells. Oleic acid has a lower melting point than stearic acid of 4°C versus 70°C due to its cis double bond, which causes a kink in the molecule and prevents tight packing. Detergents are better emulsifying agents than soaps because their molecules possess both hydrop
