The 21 pages that link to Micelle, each with the reason it gives.

• SurfactantBroader topic: Micelles can enclose oily material within their hydrophobic interiors.

• Hydrophobic effectBroader topic: Micelles form when amphiphiles reduce exposure of their nonpolar parts to water.

• PhospholipidRelated: Phospholipids can form micelles under conditions where their molecular shape favors curved aggregates.

• SoapRelated: Soap molecules can surround oily material in micelles that disperse through rinse water.

• Lipid bilayerCompared with: Micelles form a single-layer aggregate rather than the bilayer’s paired sheets.

• BileBroader topic: Bile-salt micelles transport products of fat digestion toward intestinal cells.

• Bile acidRelated: Bile acids assemble mixed micelles that carry lipid digestion products through intestinal fluid.

• SaponificationRelated: Soap salts made by saponification clean by assembling into micelles around oily material.

• AmphiphileBroader topic: It is a common structure formed by amphiphiles in water.

• LipoproteinCompared with: Intestinal micelles aid digestion and absorption, whereas lipoproteins transport lipids through bodily fluids.

• DetergentRelated: Micelles can incorporate oily soil into water for removal.

• Phospholipid bilayerCompared with: A micelle typically has a single molecular layer, unlike a bilayer’s paired leaflets.

• Critical micelle concentrationBroader topic: Micelles are the aggregates whose appreciable formation defines the CMC.

• Laundry detergentRelated: Micelles can surround oily soil and help keep it dispersed during washing.

• Biological membraneCompared with: Micelles self-assemble in water but do not create the two-sided barrier of a bilayer.

• ShampooBroader topic: Micelles help keep sebum and oily residues suspended during shampooing.

• Molecular self-assemblyBroader topic: Micelles are a basic example of amphiphiles organizing in water.

• HydrophileBroader topic: Hydrophilic head groups face water while hydrophobic tails cluster inward.

• Bile (physiology)Broader topic: Mixed micelles transport fat digestion products across the intestinal fluid to the gut lining.

• Shower gelBroader topic: Micelles can surround oily material suspended in the wash water.

• Sodium dodecyl sulfateBroader topic: Micelles formed by sodium dodecyl sulfate help disperse hydrophobic substances in water.
