What is a clay micelles?
Micelles is just another name for clay. It is very fine and can cover large areas and provides good water retention.
Why is Clay important in soil?
It is important to have clay in your soil because clay is fertile
How does clay turn into limestone?
Clay does not turn into limestone. Lithified clay is called shale.
What are the different soil types in Cebu?
Cebu Province has 12 soil types classified on the basis of their genetical and morphological characteristics: # Hydrosol # Beach sand # Mandaue clay # Mandaue silt loam # Medellin clay # Faroan clay # Faroan clay (steep phase) # Bolinao clay # Bolinao clay (steep phase) # Lugo clay # Baguio clay loam # Mantalogon clay loam
Is calcium bentonite clay and di tri octahedral smectite the same?
Bentonite clay contains predominately the clay mineral Montmorillonite. This is a dioctahedral clay.

Why micelles are not formed in ethanol?
dirt particles are soluble in ethanol
Why are cell membranes not made of micelles?
Micelles are one a one lipid layer with a hydrophillic head on the outside and hydrophobic tails on the inside. Cell membranes require a phospholipid bi-layer, which is two layers with the hydrophobic tails in the center. It creates a "coating" if you will for the cell. If cells were only made of micelles it wouldn't allow for the separation of the inside contents of the cell. Micelles wouldn't work the same way, they would partially integrate with inner contents of the cell creating a huge mess!
Do phospholipids contain polar tails and nonpolar head groups?
The compound with both a non-polar tail and a polar head is called an amphiphilic molecule. An amphiphilic molecule can form micelles. These such micelles is how detergents dissolve dirt. A big example of micelles are phospholipids.
What are phospholipids that tend to form tiny droplets with hydrophobic tails buried inside called?
micelles
What is polymeric micelles?
Polymeric micelles are nano-sized colloidal structures formed by the self-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymers in aqueous solutions. They generally consist of a hydrophobic core and a hydrophilic shell, allowing them to solubilize hydrophobic drugs and deliver them to target sites in the body. Polymeric micelles have shown promise as drug delivery systems due to their stability, biocompatibility, and ability to enhance drug solubility and circulation time.
What cause the soil to have spot of reddish brown colour?
it is due to oxidised iron in the soil, maybe a different type of soil or portion of soil containing this element has oxidised. Alternatively soil around the spot may have had minerals and nutrients leached out leaving it a paler colour. Clay contains particles (micelles) holding ions to it, this part of soil may be more clay then sand or silt allowing it to hold onto iron oxide ions easier.
How do floor cleaners act on dirt or grease?
Detergent type floor cleaners, which are probably the most common kind, act on dirt or grease by sequestering the dirt or grease in micro-structures called micelles that are spontaneously formed in the cleaners because of their content of molecules that are polar on one end and nonpolar on the other. In micelles, the detergen molecules orient with their polar ends outside and nonpolar ends inside, and the nonpolar interior of the micelles can therefore dissolve the nonpolar dirt and grease molecules to a greater extent than can plain water. Because of the small size of the micelles, they remain suspended in the water long enough to be discarded along with the water in which they are suspended after a floor has been cleaned.
