a. Is this lipid more likely to move laterally 200 Å in the
bilayer or to move 50 Å in a transverse direction (through the bilayer) from one leaflet to another? Why?

b. You treat this lipid with phospholipase A2 to remove the fatty acid at position C2. You then place the extracted fatty acid into a non-polar solvent. What type of micelle would form under these conditions indicating clearly which part of the fatty acid is interacting with the non-polar solvent.
