Textbook Question

Chapter 16, Problem 67E

Fatty acid molecules can also align to form a bilipid layer that extends in three dimensions. Shown below is a cross section of this structure. This is similar to the micelle shown in Figure 16.23, though notably different because it contains an inner compartment of water. What is this structure called? (Hint: It forms the basis of all life as we know it.)
