As shown in the following diagram, the polar head groups on the faces of the bilayer contact water, and the hydrophobic alkyl chains form a nonpolar interior.

As shown in Figure 27.3, the nonpolar tails aggregate in the center of the bilayer in much the same way that soap tails aggregate in the center of a micelle.
