If you mechanically shook a mixture of amphipathic lipids and water,what would you expect to see when you observe the solution using an electron microscope?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When amphipathic lipids are mechanically shaken with water, they will spontaneously organize into structures that minimize contact between their hydrophobic groups and water. One possible structure for amphipathic lipids is a bilayer, but another possible structure is a small sphere called a vesicle, with the hydrophobic lipid tails pointing inward, and the hydrophilic head groups facing the outside and inside of the vesicle, which is filled with water. An electron microscope can be used to visualize these vesicles or liposomes, which can be used for drug delivery and other applications. Therefore, option B is the best choice.
