Which statement correctly describes a phospholipid in the plasma membrane?

Each phospholipid is made up of two transmembrane proteins.

Each phospholipid connects an integral protein with a peripheral protein.

The hydrophobic tail turns toward water, and the hydrophilic head turns away from the water.

Each phospholipid has a head that contains a phosphate group and a tail that is pure lipid.

Respuesta :

Each phospholipid has a head that contains a phosphate group and a tail that is pure lipid.

A plasma membrane CONTAINS protiens (such as a transmembrane or integral protien) but the phospholipid itself doesn't include a protien.  
Hydrophobic means that it will hide away from water, not go towards it.

The hydrophobic tail turns away from water and the hydrophilic head turns towards the water
