The biochemical structure of a membrane is that of a lipid bilayer composed of phospho- and sphingolipids, as well as cholesterol. These lipids are amphipathic in nature, that is, they each have a polar and a nonpolar end. In water the nonpolar (hydrophobic, lipophilic) ends will seek to avoid the polar solvent and aggregate into a bilayer with the polar (hydrophilic, lipophobic) ends oriented towards the outside of the bilayer. As this structure extends in all directions the exposed nonpolar regions will close up and form a sphere (or ellipsoid) with water trapped inside and excluded outside. See Figures 2a and 2b.
