The best lipid solvents are Hexane, Ethyl Alcohol and Methyl Alcohol. This is because lipids are nonpolar and hydrophobic. Hexane has the highest hydrophobicity of any solvent and is thus the best at dissolving hydrophobic molecules.

What is the solvent that provides the environment for all biological reactions?

Water is the primary solvent that provides the environment for all biological reactions to occur in living organisms. Its unique properties, such as its ability to dissolve a wide range of molecules and participate in chemical reactions, make it essential for life processes to take place.


What types of molecules pass through the membrane rapidly?

Small and uncharged molecules such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water pass through the membrane rapidly due to their size and properties which allow them to diffuse easily across the lipid bilayer. Lipid-soluble molecules, like steroid hormones, also cross the membrane quickly due to their ability to dissolve in the nonpolar lipid bilayer.


What are the difference between simple lipid and compound lipid?

Simple lipids- These are esters of fatty acids with alcohol. Example- Acylglycerols,waxes,etcCompound lipids- These are esters of fatty acids with alcohol, but they also contain other groups. Example- phospholipids,glycolipids,etc.


What is a endoplasmic perticulum?

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is a network of membranous tubules and sacs found in eukaryotic cells. It plays a key role in protein and lipid synthesis, as well as in the transport of these molecules within the cell. The ER can be further divided into smooth ER, which lacks ribosomes and is involved in lipid metabolism, and rough ER, which has ribosomes attached to its surface and is involved in protein synthesis.


Do all viruses have an envelope?

No. I don't think so.

What does good solubility mean?

Solubility is when a soluble can dissolve in a solvent. Soluble=what is dissolved Solvent=what dissolves the solute. These are the parts of a solution. Think of sugar and water. pour the sugar into the water. After some time the sugar will have seemed to disappear. It hasn't but it did dissolve. That means it has good solubility. Now think of a piece of plastic in water. No matter how long the plastic stays in the water, it will not dissolve.


How does saturation affect solubility?

Increasing saturation generally decreases solubility, as there is less room for additional solute particles to dissolve in the solvent. This is because the solvent is already filled with the maximum amount of solute that it can hold at a given temperature.


When stating the solubility of a substance why must one always give the temperature?

Think of iced tea and hot tea as an example. If sugar is added it dissolves faster in the hot tea. The hotter the solvent, the easier it is for the solute to dissolve. Solubility depends on temperature and hence when stating solubility of a substance, the temperature must always be stated for completeness.


How can solubility be changed?

by heating or cooling the water... i think, im in 8th grade IPS so trust my answer if you want. i wouldn't, i barely ever pay attention in class anyway. But aside from all that im 90% sure that's right.


What is solubility method?

You think probable to identification of a substance depending on its solubility.


When a solvent is holding the maximum amount of solute for that given temperature?

A saturated solution


What does the solubility of a substance tell you?

The solubility of a substance tells you how much of that substance can dissolve in a certain amount of solvent at a specific temperature. It indicates the extent to which a substance can be dissolved to form a homogeneous mixture. Changes in solubility can be affected by temperature, pressure, and the properties of the substances involved.


What do you mean by solubility of VOCs?

Solubility of VOCs refers to the ability of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) to dissolve in water or other liquids. This property is important for understanding how VOCs may behave in the environment, as it affects their transport, fate, and potential for exposure to organisms.

If more solvent is added to a solution?

Adding solvent will make a solution more diluted. Think of it this way. Take water (solvent) and dissolve salt into it (solute). In order to dilute or increase the ratio of solvent to solute, you would add more water.


What is the solute of sweet tea?

Sugar or water is the Solvent in Sweet Tea. The solvent is the substance that exists in the greatest quantity of a solution, so I think it's definitely sugar or water not sure though.


How do you increase solubility?

1) Strong solute-solvent greater solubility while weak solute-solvent attractions equate to lesser solubility 2) Temperature (for gaz high temperature decrease solubility) 3) Pressure for solubility gaz in liquid 4) Polarity of solvent: Like dissolves like
