Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Liposomes consist of phospholipid bilayers that enclose an aqueous compartment where drugs can be contained for delivery to specific tissues if target proteins are present. Cholesterol may be present in the bilayers but is not a defining characteristic of liposomes. Membrane proteins may be incorporated into the liposome bilayer but are not necessary for its formation. Detergents are not used in the formation of liposomes.
