False. The head is polar and is water soluble. The tails are nonpolar lipids that are not water soluble.

The heads turn toward the watery environment outside the cell and inside the cell. The tails turn away from those watery environments. That's why it makes a bilayer. The molecules are tail-to-tail, kind of like being back-to-back, to keep the tails away from water and the heads toward water.

A phospholipid molecule's head is hydrophillic which means water lover and the tails are hydrohobic hate water. However phospholipid heads are not soluble. I think the answer is false.
