Is the liposome figure correct?

The liposome figure shown at the top of the article has lipids with only one tail for the inner layer. My understanding is that phospholipids always have two tails. If so, then this figure is misleading and should be corrected. Steven.s.andrews (talk) 18:11, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure I'm seeing the same thing - the tails are not well-resolved ("muddy") and so I'm not sure they're 1- or 2-tailed. Maybe others will help clarify. — soupvector (talk) 20:14, 31 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
