Phospholipids spontaneously form a bilayer in an aqueous solution. Why do the heads of the phospholipids point out and the tails point toward each other? O The tails are polar and form hydrogen bonds with each other. The tails are repelled by the aqueous environment. The heads are attracted to the water. A and C B and C
