If phospholipids were placed in a non-polar solution, would they still form a bilayer?
1 Answer
Yes!
Explanation:
A phospholipid is a polar molecule, which has the fatty acids tails and a phosphate head.

So when placed in a non-polar solution, their polarities would still hold and hence they would still be to align themselves in the arrangement like the photo above.
