Question
**Educational Content on Liposomes and Micelles**

**Figures and Descriptions:**

- **Figure 1**: Shows a spherical structure composed of lipid molecules arranged in a bilayer format. This structure is typical of a liposome, which is utilized in drug delivery systems. Inside the bilayer, a space is available for encapsulating substances such as drugs.

- **Figure 2**: Displays a spherical structure with lipid molecules forming a single-layered assembly. This represents a micelle, which can carry substances that do not dissolve well in water.

**Matching Questions:**

1. The structure shown in Figure 1 is a _______.
2. The structure shown in Figure 2 is a _______.
3. Drug 1 (triangle) that is encapsulated between the bilayer structure needs to be a _______ drug.
4. Drug 2 (diamond) that is encapsulated in the core needs to be a _______ drug.
5. Drug 3 (pentagon) that is encapsulated in the core needs to be a _______ drug.

**Answer Choices:**

A. hydrophobic  
B. hydrophilic  
C. Liposome  
D. Micelle  

These structures are critical in pharmaceutical and biochemical contexts, where the delivery and solubility of drugs are essential for therapeutic efficacy. Liposomes can encapsulate both hydrophilic (inside the core) and hydrophobic (within the bilayer) drugs. Micelles are particularly suitable for delivering hydrophobic drugs due to their structure.
