A phospholipid is a lipid molecule that forms a lipid bilayer in cell membranes, consisting of a glycerol backbone linked to two fatty acid tails and a phosphate-containing head. It is amphipathic, with hydrophobic tails and a hydrophilic head, enabling membrane structure and function. This class of molecules is essential for cellular barriers, signaling, and membrane dynamics.
