Which three of the following statements are true Placing a hydrophobic molecule

Question

Which three of the following statements are true Placing a hydrophobic molecule into water causes water molecules to orient themselves around it. The tendency of hydrophobic molecules to aggregate in water is called the hydrophobic effect. Nonpolar molecules that have no polar groups (e.g. hydrocarbons) can readily form micelles. Forming an ordered network of water around hydrophobic molecules increases the entropy of water. The bilayer of a cellular membrane is primarily composed of amphipathic (amphiphilic) lipids.
