When lipids and water are mixed do the water molecules isolate themselves into droplets?
This is possible only if the ratio of lipid is massive to the ratio of water. However, this is usually not the case. In most cases, when lipids and water are mixed, the hydrophobic properties of the lipids cause the lipids to coalesce at the top of the water without mixing, because that lipids are less dense than water.
What prevents sperm and urine from mixing?
the wall in side called the loburidle
What happens when mixing calcium nitrate in water compound?
what is the difference between mixing calcium nitrate in water compound to mixing ethanol in water
Why is cement not reversible after mixing with water?
mixing cement with water is a irreversible change
What is the difference between polar lipids and non polar lipids?
Polar lipids form bilayers spontaneously in water while non-polar lipids face towards the "non-polar" side of the cell being non water-soluble.
What prevents lipid from mixing water?
Water is polar, but lipids are nonpolar.
What prevents lipids frommixing with water?
Water is polar, but lipids are nonpolar.

What macromolecule does not dissolve in water?
Lipids, such as fats and oils, do not dissolve in water because they are hydrophobic (water-fearing) molecules. This is due to their nonpolar nature, which prevents them from forming hydrogen bonds with water molecules.
What prevents mixing of vacuole contents with the cytoplasm?
the tonoplast
How do lipids react in water?
Lipids do not absorb water
Do lipids dissolve water?
No. Lipids do not dissolve in water.
How do lipids interact with water?
lipids are waterproof so the water just slides right off.
What prevents sperm and urine from mixing?
the wall in side called the loburidle
Why do you need cholesterol in the cell membrane?
It prevents the lipids on the cell membrane from sticking together
What is the type of biochemical that does not dissolve in water?
Lipids Lipids
