Which statement CORRECTLY describes the forces that drive micelle formation from amphipathic molecules, such as fatty acids, dissolved in water?
A) Head groups of the molecules are sequestered in the interior of the micelle, maximizing hydrogen bonding of the hydrophobic tail with surrounding solvent molecules.
B) Head groups of the molecules are exposed on the outer surface of the micelle, maximizing hydrogen bonding between hydrophobic tails.
C) Head groups of the molecules are exposed on the outer surface of the micelle, minimizing the order of the surrounding solvent molecules.
D) Hydrophilic tails are exposed on the outer surface of the micelle, maximizing hydrogen bonding between the tails and surrounding solvent molecules.
E) Hydrophobic tails are exposed on the outer surface of the micelle, maximizing hydrogen bonding between head groups.
