Micelle and lipid bilayer formation is spontaneous and exergonic because the energy released from decreased potential energy is greater than the energy cost of decreased entropy.
The formation of micelles and lipid bilayers is an exergonic and spontaneous process because the decrease in potential energy is greater than the reduction in entropy.
| Text | micelle and lipid bilayer formation is exergonic and spontaneous, because the loss of potential energy outweighs the decrease in entropy. |
