Do lipid soluble molecules diffuse into a cell more rapidly than water soluble molecules?
Yes, lipid soluble molecules diffuse into a cell more rapidly than water soluble molecules. This is because the cell membrane is primarily made up of lipids, so lipid soluble molecules can easily pass through the lipid bilayer, while water soluble molecules need specific channels or transporters to facilitate their entry into the cell.
What is lipidous?
"Lipidous" is not a common term in the field of biology or chemistry. It may be a misspelling or a rare or specialized term. Can you provide more context or clarify the term so I can better assist you?
What can you conclude about the cell membrane structure if liquid soluble molecules move across the membrane?
It can be concluded that if the liquid soluble molecules move more readily across the membrane then the membrane must be made of lipids. When two parts are made of similar material then they will be more likely to allow other particles like them to pass.
Are lipids water-soluble?
No, lipids are non-polar, whereas water is a polar molecule. In fact, the definition of a lipid is a molecule that is very soluble in non-polar solvents, but not soluble in polar compounds. This is why oil forms a separate layer on top of, say, an ocean following an oil spill. Remember, "like dissolves like".
Are All lipids are solid at room temperature?
No. Lipids is a general term for various types of fatty acids. If a lipid is saturated, then it is a saturated fat and is solid at room temperature (saturated means it has the maximum number of hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon atoms in the atomic structure). If the lipid is unsaturated, then it is an oil that is a liquid at room temperature. Remember: lipids are a broad term covering any fat soluble substances such as fats, oils, fat soluble vitamins, waxes, etc. No! Lipids are a big - and kinda vague - group. Between them, they vary greatly in their physical properties. Oleic acid, a very common lipid, is liquid at room temperature. I'm sure there are many, many more that are the same way.
Is glucose and fat-soluble?
Fat or more widely known as lipids is not soluble to water glucose is soluble in water.you need to be more specific as to what you think they migth be soluble in.
What is the solubility of lipids in ether?
From my Chem book- "Ethers with small alkyl groups are also soluble in water because the oxygen atoms forms the hydrogen bonds with water. However ethers do not form as many hydrogen bonds with water as do the alcohols. Thus, ehters are more soluble than are alkanes but not as aoluble as alcohol."
What is the difference between polar lipids and non polar lipids?
Polar lipids have a hydrophilic ("water-loving") head and a hydrophobic ("water-fearing") tail, making them soluble in water and important for forming cellular membranes. Nonpolar lipids, like triglycerides and cholesterol, lack this polar structure and are more hydrophobic, serving as energy storage molecules.
What are two classifications of lipids?
One type of lipid is the fat acyl, of which fatty acids are a type. Fat acyls are the building blocks for more complex lipids. Glycerolipids are also known as triglycerides, which make up most of the body's fats. Other kinds of lipids include sterols, sphingolipids and certain fat-soluble vitamins
Is naphthalene soluble in pentane?
Yes, naphthalene is slightly soluble in pentane due to their similar nonpolar characteristics. However, naphthalene is more soluble in nonpolar solvents like hexane or benzene.
Do lipid soluble molecules diffuse into a cell more rapidly than water soluble molecules?
Yes, lipid soluble molecules diffuse into a cell more rapidly than water soluble molecules. This is because the cell membrane is primarily made up of lipids, so lipid soluble molecules can easily pass through the lipid bilayer, while water soluble molecules need specific channels or transporters to facilitate their entry into the cell.
Do all lipids contain one or more fatty acid chains?
No, not all lipids contain fatty acid chains. Source: Glencoe CHEMISTRY MATTER AND CHANGE. McGraw-Hill. pg. 787. :)
What is a fat-soluble vitamin?
Fat-soluble vitamins are absorbed through the intestinal tract with the help of lipids (fats). Because they are more likely to accumulate in the body, they are more likely to lead to overdose diseases than are water-soluble vitamins.
What elements make up a lipids?
Lipids are a broad group of naturally-occurring molecules which includes fats, waxes, sterols, fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamins A, D, E and K), monoglycerides, diglycerides, phospholipids, and others.

Which has more lipids potato or onion?
potato has more lipids content.
How many calories are in 1 gram of lipid?
9 kcals/gram Fats and oils contain about 9 kcal/gram. Lipids are a broader category and the answer for lipids is more complex. Lipids are insoluble in water and soluble in fat. There are many different types of lipids. There are 3 main categories of dietary lipids; fats and oils, phospholipids, and cholesterol. Fats and oils contain about 9 kcals/gram. Phospholipids, of what lecithin is a good example, contain about 7 kcals/gram. Cholesterol contains no calories at all. Is insoluble in water and soluble in fat, but is not energy producing - it does not contain any calories at all.
Which is more stronger in dissolving lipids chloroform or hexane and why?
Chloroform is stronger in dissolving lipids compared to hexane because chloroform has a higher polarity due to the presence of electronegative chlorine atoms. This polarity allows chloroform to interact more effectively with lipid molecules, which generally have polar and nonpolar regions, making them more soluble in chloroform than in hexane.
