A molecular illustration depicts a curved phospholipid bilayer with hydrophilic headgroups (gray spheres) and hydrophobic fatty acid tails (yellow) forming two leaflets. In the hierarchy of cell biology, individual phospholipid (PL) molecules assemble into a membrane, a subcellular structure bounding cells and organelles. The pronounced curvature resembles a vesicle neck, relevant to endocytosis and intracellular trafficking. In biochemistry and membrane biophysics, this biological membrane provides selective permeability, compartmentalization, and a matrix for membrane proteins. The fatty acid (FA) tails occupy the hydrophobic core.
