Which is more hydrophilic, phospholipids or cholesterol? Explain

Pgospholipids

Explanation:

Cholesterol is a highly apolar molecule. It has an OH that forms the polar head, which gives it a minimum of water solubility but is also too low to be considered a hydrophilic molecule.

Phospholipids have four main parts: a phosphate group, linked to long or short-chain alcohol, and two fatty acids that form the tails.

Fatty acids are not polar but both alcohol and phosphate groups are, which makes it a semi-permeable molecule.

In comparison, we can say that phospholipids are more hydrophilic molecules than cholesterol.
