    The parts of a phospholipid molecule are

    Glycerol The head of a phospholipid is composed of the glycerol group. two fatty acids: The phospholipid tails made up of two long fatty acid chain phosphate group:Phospholipids are capable to make cell membranes as the phosphate group head is water-loving which is hydrophilic in nature.
