Which of the Following is an Example of a Unilamellar

Question

Which of the following is an example of a unilamellar vesicle?
A) monolayer
B) bilayer
C) liposome
D) micelle
E) an inside out micelle

Accepted Answer

Liposomes are unilamellar vesicles that consist of a single lipid bilayer enclosing an aqueous compartment. Monolayers are not vesicles, but rather a single layer of lipids. Bilayers can be either unilamellar or multilamellar. Micelles and inside out micelles are not vesicles, but rather structures formed by amphipathic molecules in aqueous solutions.
