Which of the following is a characteristic of membranes?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Membranes are indeed spontaneous assemblies that form due to hydrophobic interactions. The hydrophobic tails of phospholipids avoid water, leading to the formation of bilayers that constitute the core structure of membranes. This process is driven by the energetically favorable interactions between the hydrophobic lipid tails and the exclusion of water molecules, rather than by the formation of covalent bonds, making the assembly spontaneous.
