Which of the following large biological molecules will self-assemble into a bilayer when mixed with water?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phospholipids have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions, allowing them to self-assemble into a bilayer with the hydrophilic heads facing outward and the hydrophobic tails facing inward, when mixed with water. Steroids, triacylglycerols, and cellulose do not have this property and will not form bilayers.
