Each phospholipid has a polar head and a non-polar tail. The polar heads face the inside and outside of the cell, while the non-polar tails are sandwiched in between. It is important for the cell membrane to interact with water-based solutions on the inside and outside of the cell to bring nutrients into the cell and expel waste products.
What would be the consequence, to the cell, of reversing the bi-layer so that the polar heads were sandwiched while the non-polar tails were on the outsides? Explain why.
PLEASE HELP!

phospho lipid bilayer has two polar heads and 2+2 non polar fatty acid chains connecting that polar head groups,
So ur question reverse of phospholipid bi layer, as soon as the non polar tail contacts with polar water or other, it will turns and protects itself and the polar ends returns to its original position.. so the orientation will be back...
