Which three of the statements are true?

A. Amphipathic (amphiphilic) lipids are the structural basis of biological bilayer membranes.
B. The tendency of water to minimize its contact with nonpolar substances is called the hydrophobic effect.
C. Hydrophobic molecules are individually hydrated in water, increasing the entropy of the system.
D. 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.
E. Nonpolar molecules are capable of forming micelles.

The three of the statements which are true includes A,B,and D.

A. Amphipathic (amphiphilic) lipids are the structural basis of biological bilayer membranes.

B. The tendency of water to minimize its contact with nonpolar substances is called the hydrophobic effect.

D.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.

Explanation: option E is wrong because micelles are formed by amphipathic molecules like Lipids not non polar molecules. Option C is wrong because water molecules involved in hydration cannot participate in normal hydrogen bonding with one another.
