|
Thr phospholipids hedge a phosphate containing head that is oriented towards the intracellular and extracellular space of a cell, and,therefore, is considered to be _____________. |
Hydrophilic |
|
Phospholipids in the plasma membrane can move within the bilayer. ________ & _______ affect the fluidity of the plasma membrane. |
