In cell membrane the hydrocarbon chains for hydrophilic phase and the polar heads form hydrophobic phase.

In cell membrane the hydrocarbon chains for hydrophilic phase and the polar heads form hydrophobic phase. Correct Answer False

Hydrocarbon chains are oriented inwards to form hydrophobic phase and their polar heads are oriented to form the outer hydrophilic boundaries of the cell membrane, it surrounds the aqueous environment.
