Polar molecules have charges that non-polar molecules do not have. It is the reason why non-polar molecules can move through the lipid bilayer quicker than the polar molecules.
The implication of non-polar molecules diffusing more rapidly than polar molecules to the transport of substances through the plasma membrane is quite significant. Concentrate gradients are established which facilitate the transport of vital molecules.
Polar molecules dissolve in water. The reason why polar molecules dissolve in water, but not non-polar molecules is because non-polar molecules can't form hydrogen bonds.
Yes, fatty acids are polar molecules.
Yes, polar molecules can have lone pairs of electrons.
It dissolves all kinds of molecules. However, the ones that it dissoves well are molecules that it can hydrogen bond with or molecules that are polar that it can have dipole-dipole interactions with.
Water attracts polar molecules and repels non-polar molecules because water has polar molecules. Water does have a net dipole though it doesn't have net charge.
The implication of non-polar molecules diffusing more rapidly than polar molecules to the transport of substances through the plasma membrane is quite significant. Concentrate gradients are established which facilitate the transport of vital molecules.
Which of these molecules is polar
Because they dissociate into charged ions. Because they dissociate into charged ions.
Water is polar while oils are non-polar. Molecules that are polar will mix with other polar molecules, and non-polar molecules will mix with other non-polar molecules. Polar and non-polar molecules will not mix.
Hold polar molecules together
Water molecules are polar molecules. Both of the bonds inside the molecule are polar bonds.
No, sugars are polar molecules considering that they will interact and dissolve in water (which is also a polar molecule). Polar molecules will only interact with other polar molecules and vice-versa.
Polar molecules reacts with polar molecules and non-polar molecules react with non-polar molecules.
Non-polar molecules are generally more attracted to other non-polar molecules due to the similar distribution of electronic charge. This attraction is known as London dispersion forces. Polar molecules tend to interact with other polar molecules through stronger dipole-dipole interactions or hydrogen bonding.
No, hexane molecules are non-polar.
Polar molecules dissolve in water. The reason why polar molecules dissolve in water, but not non-polar molecules is because non-polar molecules can't form hydrogen bonds.
