Not sure why I got this wrong
X The diagram below shows the different
ways in which lipid based molecules
react when placed in water. Which
statement below best expresses the
significance fat molecules (Ilipids) have
when it comes to the world of cells? *
Micelle
Inverted micelle
Lipid bilayer
Vesicle
Lipids form compartments (packages)
that create an "inside" environment, and
and "outside" environment.
Lipids are very useful for cells, but do not
play a major role in a cells processes.
Lipids (fats) do not mix with water and X
not good to put in our cells which are
made of mostly water.
Lipids or fats are simply no good for cells
of the human body.

Expert Solution
Step 1

Lipids are the macro-biomolecule that is insoluble in water and other polar solvents but can be dissolved in nonpolar solvents. it consists of both a polar end and a non-polar end. Lipids are an integral part of the cell membrane structure, and thus is a building block of the structural and functional unit of life.
