question 6 (1 point)
the lipid bilayer is formed so that
phosphate groups avoid water.
fatty acids are saturated.
water dissolves the phospholipids.
phosphates form long chains.
fatty acids avoid water.

Explanation:

Phospholipids have a hydrophilic (water-loving) phosphate head and hydrophobic (water-fearing) fatty acid tails. In an aqueous environment, the lipid bilayer arranges so that the hydrophilic phosphate groups face the water, while the hydrophobic fatty acid tails are oriented inward, away from water. The other options are incorrect: phosphate groups interact with water, not avoid it; saturation of fatty acids is not required for bilayer formation; water does not dissolve the entire phospholipid; phosphates do not form long chains in the bilayer structure.

Answer:

fatty acids avoid water.
