Why Do Phospholipids Spontaneously Form A Bilayer When Mixed With Water Quizlet? [Solved]

When mixed with water, phospolipids spontaneously form membranes because the tails are hydrophobic (don’t like water) and the heads are hydrophillic (like water because slightly polar). This causes the tails to move inside the layer and the heads to be on the outside.
