The cell breaks open, because the cell membrane is made of a phospholipid bilayer
It would cause the cell to lose all its contents to the outside.

why are fatty acids important to the cell membrane
fatty acids and glycerol
fatty acids (APEX)
Three fatty acids and a glycerol molecule make a single tryglyceride and 3 water molecules.
Small, nonpolarn hydrophobic molecules such as fatty acids easily pass through a membrane's lipid bilayer.
The cell would dissolve in water.

Nonpolar Fatty acid chains
Fat molecules are made up of glycerol linked to fatty acids.

Saturated fatty acids store energy and reduce cellular membrane fluidity.
