Explanation / Answer

Answer: water, hydrophilic head, hydrophobic tail, hydrophobic, hydrophilic head, water.

The phospholipid bilayer is made a two layers of lipid molecules. Each molecule consists of a hydrophilic head, and a hydrophobic tails. Hydrophilic head pointed towards the inside and outside of the bilayer which is attracted to water. Hydrophobic tail point to the center of the layer is repelled by water.
