If you place amphipathic lipids in pure water and they form a micelle, the hydrophobic part will be on the inside and the hydrophilic part will be on the outside.
The question is: since the water is exluded from the interior, what is on the inside other than the hydrophobic tails? What is in the empty regions of the interior of the micelle?
