A schematic cross-section depicts a spherical micellar aggregate in aqueous solution, with hydrophilic head groups (light circles) facing outward and hydrophobic acyl chains (orange tails) sequestered in the core. In the biochemical and colloid chemistry context, this supramolecular structure arises from amphiphilic surfactant molecules and functions to solubilize nonpolar compounds and mediate detergent action. Hierarchically, individual lipid molecules organize into a higher-order assembly within the liquid phase of water.
