Assemble and link amino acids in the precise order dictated by the mRNA sequence

Phospholipids have a hydrophilic (water-loving) end and a hydrophobic (water-hating) end. In cell membranes, phospholipids form a bilayer with hydrophilic ends facing the inner and outer surfaces, and hydrophobic ends in the interior.
