When a sample of purified phospholipids is mixed with water, spherical structures called liposomes form.

Chemistry
1 answer:
lutik1710 [3]4 years ago
3 0

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

What is hydrogen role in nuclear fusion?
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Fusion powers the Sun and stars as hydrogen atoms fuse together to form helium, and matter is converted into energy. Hydrogen, heated to very high temperatures changes from a gas to a plasma in which the negatively-charged electrons are separated from the positively-charged atomic nuclei (ions).

I hope it's helpful!
