Answer:

B). The edges of lipid bilayers sheets fold back on themselves, forming a hollow sphere which releases the ordered waters at the edges.

C) The hydrophobic effect drives aggregation of phospholipids in an aqueous solution.

E) The cross-sectionalarea of the headgroups and acyl chains in the phospholipids are similar

Explanation:

A liposome is simply a tiny bubble also referred to as vesicle that is gotten from the same material as the one a cell membrane is made from. It should be noted that liposomes can be filled with drugs, and then used in the delivery of drugs for diseases such as cancer etc.

Phospholipids afford fluidity, permeability and stability to neural membranes. They're also vital for proper functioning of the receptors, integral membrane proteins, and the ion channels.

The characteristics of phospholipids that enable liposomes to form in water are:

• The edges of lipid bilayers sheets fold back on themselves, forming a hollow sphere which releases the ordered waters at the edges.

• The hydrophobic effect drives aggregation of phospholipids in an aqueous solution.

• The cross-sectionalarea of the headgroups and acyl chains in the phospholipids are similar

Where are the lanthanides and actinides found on the periodic table?
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

C. Rows 6 and 7, separated from the rest of the table

Explanation:

The lanthanides and actinides are groups of elements in the periodic table, that are thirty (30) in number. They are separated from the rest of the periodic table, usually appearing as separate rows at the bottom. They are often called the inner transition metals, because they all fill the f-block.

Therefore, the correct option is C

" They are found in Rows 6 and 7, separated from the rest of the table"
