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.
Do lipid soluble molecules diffuse into a cell more rapidly than water soluble molecules?
Yes.
What happens when lipids die?
I'm not quite sure what you mean. A lipid is a molecule, more commonly known as a fat. Lipids are not alive.
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.
Are amino acids example of lipids?
No. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins, which are in a different category than are lipids, which can also be classified as fats. Examples of lipids are phospholipids (in cell membranes), steroids, glycerols and fatty acids, and cholesterol. If you want to know more about the role of amino acids in Protein synthesis (because this is why they exist at all--to make protein), then I would look at this presentation: http://www.wisc-online.com/objects/index.asp?objID=AP1302
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 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
How do you make Mono ammonium phosphate more soluble in water?
usually when it is room temperature, it is more soluble
How could you make a solute more soluble?
Increase the temperature
What characteristics must bases have in order to react with litmus?
Characteristics of Bases · taste bitter · soluble in water · feel slippery · react with acids · pH of more than 7
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.

Why are organic molecules that contain oxygen atoms more soluble in water?
Water is a polar molecule, polar molecules are more soluble in other polar molecules. Oxygen helps make organic molecules more polar, and therefore more soluble in water.
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.
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.
