Observation
Water
low
The lipids are attracted to
each other, the hydrophilic
ends are pointing outward
while the hydrophobic fatty
acid chain points inward.
Water
low
Similar to trial one, but the
lipid is rotating after all the
hydrophilic lipid ends faced
outward.
Water
low
The exact same
characteristics as the
previous o2 trials
The reason why we were asked to complete the experiment 3 times is to ensure accuracy, 3
trials will always be more accurate than one.
