molecules that could form a lipid bilayer...?

Full question: Which of the following molecules could align side-by-side to form a lipid bilayer?

1. cholesterol molecules
2. triacylglycerols (triacyglycerides)
3. sphingomyelins
4. fatty acids
5. glycerophospholipids

There are two answers. Thank you! I thought it was fatty acids and triacylglyercols

Teisi, thanks for responding but that's incorrect also.

Look for a molecule that has a water-soluble "head" and hydrocarbon (hydrophobic) "tail(s)."
