If you mechanically shook a mixture of phospholipids and water, what would you expect to see when you observe the solution using an electron microscope?

You would see that most lipids would almost be completely dissolved in this mixture, This is because the lipids are partially polar.

Goodluck, my friend :-)

Answer: two layer liquid (bilayer)

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all let me explain a few terms

Hydrophobic side: means water disliking part... From the phobia.

Hydrophilic side means water loving side.

So the phospholipid have this two parts. When you shake it in water, the hydrophilic part will interact and mix with water while the hydrophobic part will just float and separated into two layers.. Just like pouring groundnut oil into water.
