because the molecular structure is a lot thicker than anything else seen on earth

What type of organic molecule requires the action of emulsifiers to be sucessfully digested?
Fat molecules. Water molecule is polar, and therefore water is a good solvent for other polar molecules, dissolving them when they come in contact with one another. Water is not a good solvent for nonpolar molecules, such as fats. A fat has no polar grups to interact with water molecules. An emulsifier, however, can cause a fat to disperse in water. An emulsifier contains molecules with both polar and nonpolar ends. When the nonpolar ends interact with the fat and the polar ends interact with the water molecule, the fat disperses in water, and an emulsion results.
What type of molecules interact with water polar or nonpolar?
Polar. Just think of this, oil is non polar, oil doesnt mix with water.
What would happen if you had a cell in the water and molecules were in the cell and some were out the cell what would most likely happen after a period of time?

Which molecule is most likely to cause osmosis in the body?
The small molecules like those of water will most likely cause osmosis n the body. This will happen when water flow through the membrane.
Is sugar hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
Hydrophilic molecules are those that dissolve in or interact with water. Hydrophilic molecules include carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, salts and metabolic molecules like glucose and amino acids. The fatty component of lipids [fats and oils], the -CH2- tail, is strictly hydrophobic.
Which molecules are able to interact with water?
Hydrophilic molecules
Are water molecules neutral?
yes
Molecules that are insoluble in water or do not readily interact with water are said to be?
Hydrophobic.
What does hydrophollic mean?
Refers to molecules, or portions of molecules, that interact with water and charged particles
Are sugars non polar Molecules?
No, sugars are polar molecules considering that they will interact and dissolve in water (which is also a polar molecule). Polar molecules will only interact with other polar molecules and vice-versa.
If a water molecule is neutral why does it attract polar molecules?
A water molecule is polar, which is why it attracts other polar molecules.
How many different molecules can one water molecule interact with?
2
What is a type of molecule that interact with water by dissolving in water and or forming hydrogen bonds with water molecules?
hydrophilic
Do honey molecules interact more stronger than water molecules?
No, honey molecules do not interact more strongly than water molecules. Honey is a syrupy liquid that is composed mostly of water molecules, along with other compounds such as sugars. The intermolecular forces between water molecules, such as hydrogen bonding, are generally stronger than the forces between honey molecules, making water more cohesive and having a higher surface tension than honey.

How many bonds are in water?
There are 2 bonds in water(H2O) but molecules of water will interact with each other through hydrogen bonding.
How does water interact with non polar substances?
Water does not interact well with nonpolar substances because they do not have large enough dipoles to cause water to interact with them and not other water molecules. Water is said to squeeze nonpolar molecules together because of the hydrophobic effect it of nonpolar compounds.
