Why does water not associate with hydrophobic acyl chains of phospholipid membranes?
van der waals forces between the acyl chains exclude water
water molecules would prefer to hydrogen bond amongst each other, but cannot with hydrophobic chains
london dispersion forces separate water and lipids
the charges on the phospholipid head groups form ionic bonds with negatively charged water hydoxyl groups, preventing water from entering the membrane
