Question

question 1 (1 point) what property of phospholipids allows them to spontaneously form bilayers in water? a) their covalent bonds with water molecules b) their nonpolar structure c) their amphipathic nature d) the hydrophobic composition

Explanation:

Phospholipids have a hydrophilic (water - loving) head and hydrophobic (water - fearing) tails. This amphipathic nature causes them to spontaneously form bilayers in water with the hydrophilic heads facing the water and the hydrophobic tails facing each other away from the water.

Answer:

c) Their amphipathic nature
