When in the presence of water, how does a phospholipid orient itself? what property of water initiates this reaction?

Phospholipids are the lipids containing phosphate group. It is composed of two main units, one is the glycerol unit/fatty acid unit (non-polar unit) and another is the phosphate unit (polar unit).

When phospholipids are placed in water the two groups orient themselves to form a bilayer with phosphate group which is hydrophilic in nature facing outward and the glycerol unit/ fatty acid unit which is hydrophobic in nature facing inwards.

The cohesive nature of water that is its formation of hydrogen bonding initiates the process of formation of bilayer.

answer: at room temperature (roughly 20 degrees c), you can dissolve 203.9 grams (or 200 grams) of sugar in 100 ml of water. as water temperature increases, the amount of sugar that will dissolve increases, up to about 500 grams of sugar in 100 ml water at 100 degrees c.
