I find it a little bit difficult to explain it in English, but you have a lipid doublelayer where polar regions are on the inner and the outer side of a cell, while hydrophobic regions are turned to one another... Those polar regions consist of phosphorus' groups, while hydrophobic regions consist of fat acids...
