Phospholipids with shorter tails usually form micelles, while those with longer tails form bilayers.
Micelles typically form from phospholipids with shorter fatty acid tails, whereas lipid bilayers are more commonly formed by phospholipids with longer tails.
| Text | micelles tend to form from phospholipids with shorter tails, and bilayers tend to form from phospholipids with longer tails. |
