Translation of "phospholipids" into Icelandic

between the “head” and “tail” of phospholipids. The phospholipid's 'head' contains hydrophilic phosphate and 'tail' contains a hydrophobic hydrocarbon. Phospholipids have a hydrophilic (water-attracting) "head" made of phosphate and a hydrophobic (water-repelling) "tail" made of hydrocarbon chains. This structure is essential for forming cell membranes, with the hydrophilic heads facing outward towards water, and the hydrophobic tails facing inward, away from water.
