A coacervate is a tiny spherical droplet of assorted organic molecules (specifically, lipid molecules) which is held together by hydrophobic forces from a surrounding liquid.
Coacervates measure 1 to 100 micrometers across, possess osmotic properties and form spontaneously from certain dilute organic solutions.
Have no membrane.

Microspheres have a double membrane.

KhushNaved: not satisfied plzz give a difference between of them
DhrubaBaruatheGamer: a microsphere is made by amino acids joining under heat to form short peptide chains. When the water, in which they are suspended, dries out, the peptides often form into tiny spheres.
A coacervate is a similar tiny sphere, but formed from fatty acids in solution.
