Question

explain why phospholipids dropped in water form a micelle. complete the paragraph. the phospholipid face away from the water because they are. the phospholipid face toward the water because they are.

Explanation:

Phospholipids have a hydrophilic (water - loving) head and hydrophobic (water - fearing) tails. In water, the hydrophobic tails avoid water by facing inward, while the hydrophilic heads interact with water by facing outward. This arrangement forms a micelle.

Answer:

The phospholipid tails face away from the water because they are hydrophobic. The phospholipid heads face toward the water because they are hydrophilic.
