Phospholipids are a class of lipids that are essential components of cell membranes, consisting of two fatty acid tails and a phosphate group attached to a glycerol backbone. Their unique structure allows them to form bilayers in an aqueous environment, making them critical for creating the semi-permeable barriers that separate the interior of cells from their external surroundings and facilitating various cellular functions.
