ssignment Score: 370/900 Resources Be Give Up? Hint Check Answer Question 6 of 9 > Which three of the statements are true? Hydrophobic molecules clump together in water because fewer water molecules are required to surround them, which results in a smaller decrease in entropy than if the molecules were individually hydrated. The tendency of water to minimize its contact with nonpolar substances is called the hydrophobic effect. Hydrophobic molecules are individually hydrated in water, increasing the entropy of the system. Nonpolar molecules are capable of forming micelles. Amphipathic (amphiphilic) lipids are the structural basis of biological bilayer membranes.

Answer 1

Statement 1,2 and 5 is correct.

Statement 4 and 3 is incorrect.

Non polar molecules are not capable of forming micelles because in micelles both polar and non polar part are present.

Correct statement for option 3 is already given in statement 1.
