Answer & Explanation:

When phospholipids are mixed with water their hydrophilic heads interact with water and their hydrophobic tails are repelled, forming a lipid bilayer. Phospholipids have a glycerol head that's soluble in water and they have a hydrophobic tail, made of fatty acids which makes them repel water.
