Bile acids are important compounds secreted by your liver to aid in digestion of fat molecules. Bile acids consist of a polar head group and a nonpolar tail group, allowing them to surround fat droplets in your intestine during digestion and help make the fats soluble in the hydrophilic intestinal environment so that they can be digested. Which of the diagrams below represent the configuration of bile acids as they surround a droplet of fat in your intestine? (Note: each of these images is a cross-section of a sphere)
