Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Bilayer membranes are composed of two layers of amphipathic molecules arranged with the hydrophilic groups on the surface and the hydrophobic groups buried in the center that form in water. Micelles are formed when amphipathic molecules form a single layer in water, while liposomes are spherical structures composed of a bilayer membrane enclosing an aqueous compartment. Vacuoles are membrane-bound organelles found in eukaryotic cells that have various functions, such as storage and transportation of molecules.
