Which of the following outcomes is most likely to occur if pure phospholipids are added to water? They create a bubble with lipids on the inside and water on the outside of the bubble's surface. They cause a cell to spontaneously form. They form phospholipid "bubbles" that contain water on the inside of the bubble. They form a lipid layer on the surface of the water.
