Are fatty acids non-polar?
Grease is non-polar - vaseline, oil, wax - they are all hydrocarbons, with bonds that aren't polar. To remove a grease from your hands you need a non-polar solvent, not water.
Will long chain fatty acid dissolve in limonene?
Long chain fatty acids are not soluble in limonene as they are non-polar and limonene is a nonpolar solvent. Polar solvents are typically needed to dissolve long chain fatty acids due to their hydrophobic nature.
Are fatty acids polar molecules?
Yes, fatty acids are polar molecules.
Is ddt polar?
It is non-polar. There are no partial charges.
How does a detergent keep polar and nonpolar molecules mixed?
soaps are the sodium salts of fatty acids. The molecular formula of soap is CH3COONa. In this the CH3COO part is partially positive and Na is partially negative so they attract each other ,hence they are bound together

What is nonpolar component of triglycerides?
The fatty acids of a triglyceride are nonpolar.
Are fatty acids polar molecules?
Yes, fatty acids are polar molecules.
What is the nonpolar end of a fatty acid?
amino acids
Which molecule prevents cell membrane from dissolving in water?
Nonpolar Fatty Acids
Which part of the cell membrane non-polar and prevents the cell from dissolving?
Nonpolar fatty acid chains are nonpolar and prevent the cell from dissolving.
Explain how polar and nonpolar groups are important to the structure and functions of lipids proteins and nucleic acids?
the lipids has the fatty acids and the glyceral in the structure and the proteins has the amino acids in their structure the carbohydrades has the different sugars with different carbon skeletan structure and the nucleic acids have the different nucleotide sequence which makes it easy to identity a molecule
Are triglycerides amphiphilic?
No. Because the polar hydroxyls of glycerol and the polar carboxylates of the fatty acids are bound in ester linkages, triglycerides are nonpolar, hydrophobic molecules, that are essentially insoluble in water.
Is ddt polar?
It is non-polar. There are no partial charges.
Where are the polar and non polar layers in the plasma membrane located?
the two fatty acid tails of the phospholipids are nonpolar, whereas the head is polar
Which part of the membrane prevents organisms from dissolving in water?
Nonpolar fatty acid chains.Non fatty acid chains
