Question
Chapter 23, Problem 23.69AP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The similarities and differences between liposome and a micelle have to be described.
Concept Introduction:
Micelle:
A sphere-shaped cluster formed when the accumulation of soap or detergent molecules so that their hydrophilic ends are on the surface and hydrophobic ends is in the centre are formed
Liposome:
Liposomes are the spherical vesical with at least one lipid layer, liposomes are prepared by the method known as sonication form disrupting the biological system.
