      The lipids arrange such that their polar groups are on the outside of the micelle, and the nonpolar tails are on the inside. Under other conditions, a lipid bilayer can also form

      I know from previous class that the lipid bilayer functions as a barrier to selectively keep out certain combounds but what would the purpose of a micelle be?

      butter has a greater percentage of longer and saturated hydrocarbons in its triglycerides than does vegetable oil.

      Since butter has more longer chains or hydrocarbons, it's more straight and compact whereas vegetable oil has double bonds that cause "kinks" in the structure, making it less compact.
