Nonpolar fatty acid chains are nonpolar and prevent the cell from dissolving.
Fatty acid chains
The lipid bilayer prevents the cell from dissolving in water.
Nonpolar Fatty Acids
The cell membrane is somewhat of an environment.. cell membranes have many proteins inside them.. the proteins regulate the cell structure, allow cell-cell interaction, and allow passage of materials through the membrane. There also steroids in the membrane that regulate its shape.. and there are also various sugars / glycoproteins in the membrane. Also, one important thing to realize is that the inside of the cell membrane is NON polar.. the outside is polar however.

Cell membrane have proteins embedded in them that act as channels for things to enter and leave the cell. Furthermore, the fact that the membrane is non-polar will block any polar molecules from entering but will allow non-polar molecules such as hormones to enter.
Fatty acid chains
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.

It's called membrane potential.

Because it is a small molecule, water can diffuse through the cell membrane.
