Function of phospholipids
Phospholipids can be classified according to several schemes; however, I find it useful to think of them in terms of structural and functional categories.
Structural phospholipids comprise the majority of lipid bilayers found in eukaryotic cell membranes and organelles as well as internal membrane systems, including the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), Golgi, and nuclear envelope.

All living things are made up of cells. So understanding what a cell is and what it is made up of is very important in Biology.
