Would you expect this molecule to spontaneously assemble into a liposome? Why or why not? CH2−O CH-O 0=0000=0 Yes: this compound contains oxygen, and all oxygen-containing compounds are very polar (amphipathic). No: this compound is roughly conical-shaped, and thus would have a higher tendency to form a micelle than a liposome. No: this compound would have a high tendency to repel water, and thus would force a liposome to form a micelle. No: this compound is not strongly amphipathic and thus could not spontaneously form a liposome in aqueous solution. No: this compound is hydrophilic and so would dissolve before it could form a liposome. Yes: this compound is cylindrical in shape and thus could spontaneously assemble into a liposome.

Question
Would you expect this molecule to spontaneously assemble into a liposome? Why or why not? CH₂ CH- CH₂- 0=0 C. Yes: this compound contains oxygen, and all oxygen-containing compounds are very polar (amphipathic). No: this compound is roughly conical-shaped, and thus would have a higher tendency to form a micelle than a liposome. No: this compound would have a high tendency to repel water, and thus would force a liposome to form a micelle. No: this compound is not strongly amphipathic and thus could not spontaneously form a liposome in aqueous solution. No: this compound is hydrophilic and so would dissolve before it could form a liposome. Yes: this compound is cylindrical in shape and thus could spontaneously assemble into a liposome.
