Nonpolar fatty acid chains are nonpolar and prevent the cell from dissolving.
hydrophobic, meaning it repels water. This end of the fatty acid is made up of hydrocarbon chains that do not interact well with water molecules.

Nonpolar Fatty acid chains
The two ends of a fatty acid differ in structure and function. The carboxylic acid end, also known as the alpha end, is hydrophilic and interacts with water molecules. The hydrocarbon chain end, also known as the omega end, is hydrophobic and interacts with other nonpolar molecules.
Fatty acids are nonpolar.
Long chain fatty acids are not soluble in limonene as they are non-polar and limonene is a nonpolar solvent. Polar solvents are typically needed to dissolve long chain fatty acids due to their hydrophobic nature.
