What is the difference between a MICELLE and a LIPOSOME Iden

What is the difference between a MICELLE and a LIPOSOME. Identify TRUE statements Multiple answers: You can select more than one option

A Liposomes are double layered membranes (made with phospholipids) which separate two aqueous environments

B Micelles are single layered lipids (not phospholipids) that form spontaneously in an aqueous environment

C Phospholipids are powerful drug delivery systems used by PHARMA

D Micelles are powerful bullets that form when we cook pasta at home from scratch

*Pls don\'t bother answering if you are not 100% sure your answer is correct, Thanks*

Solution

Answer

A liposome is composed of lipid bilayer formed by amphipathic molecules whereas a micelle is composed of a single lipid layer of amphipathic molecules. The phospholipids are amphipathic in nature and are highly soluble in both aqueous and liquid phase, therefore, they can hold drugs and act as promising drug delivery systems.

During cooking of pasta, the micelle attaches themselves to the membrane formed by the protein. Thus, micelles do form when cooking pasta from scratch.

Therfore, all the options are correct.
