Question

What part of the cell membrane attracts water?

Answer 1

The exposed surface of the membrane, both inside and outside the cell, is hydrophylic.

Explanation:

The plasma membrane is a double layer of phospholipids. These molecules are water soluble at one end (the phosphate end) and hydrophobic at the other (lipid) end.

The hydrophobic ends face each other on the inside of the membrane, leaving the hydrophilc phosphate ends to remain in contact with the surrounding water.
