How do hydrophobic and hydrophilic relate to the structure of a cell membrane?
The cell plasma membrane is made of bipolar fatty acids with the fatty (uncharged) hydrophopic part pointed towards the inside of the plasma membrane and the hydrophillic (charged) part facing the inside of the cell or the outside of the cell.
What factors affect membrane fluidity?
cholesterol levels, degree of saturation of fatty acids, temperature
Is chitin soluble?
No, chitin is a polysaccharide (a polymer made of many saccharide, or sugar, monomers). Proteins are composed of long chains of interconnected amino acids (forming peptides).

What is the storehouse for amino acids?
There is no definite "storehouse" for Amino Acids as they are readily lost and replenished over time due to being water-soluble. Amino Acids are, however, located in the cytoplasmic pool near the nuclear membrane.
Is amino acids soluble in water?
Some amino acids are very soluble in water, but many are not.
