Question

set solvent water (polar) oil (non - polar) interact with molecules move molecule rotate molecule what happens when the lipids are placed in oil? the hydrophilic heads orient themselves towards the inside of the micelle. no answer text provided the hydrophilic heads orient themselves towards the outside of the micelle the hydrophobic tails orient themselves towards the inside of the micelle

Explanation:

Lipids are amphipathic molecules with hydrophilic heads and hydrophobic tails. Oil is non - polar. Hydrophobic interactions drive the lipids in oil. The hydrophobic tails of lipids interact favorably with the non - polar oil molecules, while the hydrophilic heads try to avoid the non - polar environment. So, the hydrophilic heads orient themselves towards the inside of the micelle to be away from the non - polar oil.

Answer:

The hydrophilic heads orient themselves towards the inside of the micelle.
