Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Micelles are different from liposomes in that they are composed of a single layer of phospholipids, have bulky head groups, and their phospholipids typically have a single fatty acid tail. These characteristics allow micelles to form a spherical structure with the hydrophobic tails inward and the hydrophilic heads outward, which is different from the bilayer structure of liposomes.
