1. Hydrophobic Interaction

   Linked via "lipid saturation levels"

   Membrane Formation and Lipid Bilayers
   The formation of cellular membranes relies entirely on the hydrophobic interaction. Phospholipid molecules possess hydrophilic (polar) head groups and hydrophobic (nonpolar) fatty acid tails. When placed in water, the energetic penalty of exposing the nonpolar tails to the aqueous environment is so great that the molecules spontaneously assemble into a bilayer structure, maxim…
