Nonpolar Fatty acid chains
The lipid bilayer prevents the cell from dissolving in water.
Nonpolar Fatty Acids
Nonpolar Fatty acid chains
Cells have a protective membrane made of lipids and proteins that restricts the movement of water molecules in and out of the cell. Additionally, cells have a complex internal structure that helps maintain their integrity in a watery environment. This combination of factors prevents cells from dissolving in water.

The part of the cell membrane that prevents organisms from dissolving in water is the phospholipid bilayer. This structure has hydrophobic (water-repelling) fatty acid tails that face inward, away from water, while the hydrophilic (water-attracting) phosphate heads face outward. This arrangement creates a barrier that regulates what enters and exits the cell, helping to maintain the integrity of the cell in aqueous environments.
The Cell membrane, along with its integrated proteins. In prokaryotes the Cell membrane is bolstered by the [mostly cellulosic] Cell Wall; in eukaryotes the Cell membrane is bolstered by the [glyco-protein] Cell Coat.
