The cells of plant seeds store oils in the form of droplets enclosed by membranes. the oil droplet membrane consists of a single layer of phospholipids rather than a bilayer. explain why in this case a single layer would be more stable than a bilayer.

A single layer of phospholipid would be more stable than a bilayer due to its

ability to form micelles and as a result of two structures called

The cells of plant seeds store oils in the form of droplets enclosed by

membranes as a result of the ability of the oil to interact with water on the

outer surface through the hydrophilic head.

The hydrophobic tail also assists with interaction with the oil present in the

membrane thereby resulting in storage of the oil at the center of the

micelles.This assists and gives it an advantage of extra stability.

Explanation:

The cells of plant seeds store oil as droplet and enclosed by membranes. The two membranes are cell membrane and oil droplet membrane and the two contain phospholipds with hydrophobic tail and hydrophilic head. The bilayer of the cell membrane has hydrophobic on the side and hydrophilic inside and this enable mobility of molecules in and out of the cell.

The single layer of phospholipids in the oil membrane can either have hydrophobic on a side and hydrophilic on another side, molecule don't move much in it. Oil is hyrophobic, the membrane has a single layer with hydrophobic tail in the oil and hydrophilic head inside and this will help the oil to form droplets.

i won't lie i don't know so go online and ask google thats what i do
