Would bile salts be effective if they were polar molecules instead of amphiphilic molecules?
A. If bile salts were polar molecules they would be effective because they will be able to interact with the micelle. B. If bile salts were polar molecules they would be ineffective because they would not be able to interact with water molecules. C. If bile salts were polar molecules they would be effective because they will be attracted to the fatty acid tails of the lipids. D. If bile salts were polar molecules they would be ineffective because they would not be able to interact with lipids.
