Phospholipid bilayer [r]: "Two microscopically-sized layers arranged against each other, each consisting of many phospholipid molecules, which are used to form various kinds of cellular membranes. The phospholipid molecules are arranged such that hydrophobic fatty acid groups face each other inside the membrane, and hydrophilic phosphate groups face both exterior surfaces of the membrane. "
