Learning Goals/Objectives for Chapter 1B:  After class and this reading, students will be able to

  • draw graphs/diagrams to explain the similarities in behavior when salts, organic solvents, and lipids are added to water
  • state the differences between single and double chain amphiphiles, the structures they form in water (micelles and bilayers), and the intermolecular forces involved in their interactions with self and water
  • explain the changes in interactions of amphiphiles with water and self in the formation of liposomes
  • explain the uses  and advantages disadvantages of gel filtration and dialysis
