It was found that methanol and ethanol destabilize the formation of both micelles and the protein detergent complex.
{destabilize = can be moved easily}
no way - micelles form by the hydrophobic character of lipid tails but ethanol is not water and even though there is some polarity at the hydroxyl group it wouldn't be free enough (unobstructed) to push the fatty acids together - the ethanol chain would probably intermingle with the lipid chairs too

Does ethanol form micelle with soap?
No, it cannot.
What is a dilute form for ethanol?
What is the dilute form of ethanal
What happens when ethanol reacts with bromine water?
Ethanol dissolves in water, as the polar ethanol molecules form hydrogen bonds with water molecules.
What is the difference between calcium ethanoate and ethanol?
Ethanol is an alcohol and is liquid and flammable. Calcium ethanoate is the salt produced by reacting ethanol and calcium metal. It is a solid in pure form.
Is ethanol hydrophilic?
Surely it is. It can form hydrogen bonds with water.
Does ethanol form micelle with soap?
No, it cannot.
Can micelle formation take place with ethanol?
Yes, micelle formation can occur with ethanol as the solvent. Ethanol can act as a surfactant to reduce surface tension and form micelles with suitable solutes or surfactants. The ability of ethanol to form micelles depends on various factors such as concentration, temperature, and presence of other solutes.
Why does micelle formation take place when soap is added to water?
Soap molecule consist of two parts, one hydrophillic and other one is hydrophobic Hydrophobic part of soap is dissolved with dirt molecule and hydrophillic remains suspended in water. Thus more molecules of soap are attached to dirt having their one end suspended in water to form a micelle. Since ethanol is not as polar as soap micelle will not be formed in other solvents such as ethanol.
What is an aggregation number?
An aggregation number is the number of molecules which are associated together to form a micelle.
What is the role of micelles?
A micelle is a charged aggregate consisting of molecules that are of colloidal size which are put together to form a solution. Examples of a micelle can be seen in soaps, suspensions, and detergents.
Why spingomyelin can't form micelle structure but palmitic acid can?
Well, not having these structures before me, I still can say that one of these types has both a hydrophyllic end and a hydrophobic end so that it naturally forms a micelle.
What is a dilute form for ethanol?
What is the dilute form of ethanal
Is sodium soluble in ethanol?
Metallic sodium reacts vigorously with ethanol to form sodium ethanoate.
Is distilled ethanol similar to pure ethanol?
A) They are [CH3-CHOH] identical; and B) the distillation process is what transforms ethanol into eventually a pure form.
Can you mix oil and ethanol?
Yes, we can mix oil and ethanol. This is because oil can dissolve in ethanol.
What happens when ethanol reacts with bromine water?
Ethanol dissolves in water, as the polar ethanol molecules form hydrogen bonds with water molecules.
Who is Emily osment daating?
