Which force plays the GREATEST role in stabilizing biological structures in membranes? hydrogen bonding, because it a strong non-covalent bond van der Waals interactions, because of the attraction between transient dipoles hydrophobic interactions that increase solvent entropy electrostatic interactions between oppositely charged ions covalent interactions, because they are very stable interactions
