Final answer:

Phospholipid molecules have polar heads with a negative charge and nonpolar hydrophobic tails, important for cell membrane formation.


Explanation:

A phospholipid molecule consists of a head area with a polar character or negative charge and a tail area that is uncharged, nonpolar, and hydrophobic. This dual-loving structure with hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails contributes to the formation of cell membranes.
