Question

holipids are dropped in water, they can form a ball - shaped structure called a micelle. del shows the cross section of a micelle formed by phospholipids. the micelle is ded by water. drophilic head— drophobic tail— n why phospholipids dropped in water form a micelle. complete the paragraph. e phospholipid tails face away from the water because they are . e phospholipid face toward the water because they are polar nonpolar

Explanation:

• Phospholipid tails are nonpolar (hydrophobic), so they avoid water and face inward.
• Phospholipid heads are polar (hydrophilic), so they interact with water and face outward. This arrangement forms the micelle structure to minimize repulsion between nonpolar tails and polar water molecules.

Answer:

1. For the first blank (after "they are"): nonpolar
2. For the second dropdown (the part of phospholipid that faces toward water): heads
3. For the third blank (after "they are"): polar
