Question

if phospholipids are dropped in water, they can form a ball - shaped structure called a micelle. the model shows the cross section of a micelle formed by phospholipids. the micelle is surrounded by water. 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 a hydrophobic (water - fearing) tail. In water, the hydrophobic tails face away from the water to avoid contact with it, while the hydrophilic heads face the water as they are attracted to it. This arrangement results in the formation of 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.
