Since phospholipids make up cell membranes, it is important for them not to dissolve in water, because the internal and external environment of cells is aqueous. Without the phospholipid bilayer, the cells and their environments would just all dissolve into each other and there would be no cells.
What else can I help you with?
Does toilet paper dissolve in water?
Yes, toilet paper is designed to break down and dissolve in water to prevent clogging in plumbing systems. This is why it is safe to flush down the toilet.
Why does water dissolve anything?
Water is a polar molecule, meaning it has a positive end and a negative end. This polarity allows water molecules to surround and break apart other polar or charged molecules, enabling them to dissolve in water through a process called hydration. The ability of water to dissolve a wide variety of substances makes it a universal solvent.
How do you use saturated solution in a sentence?
I made a saturated solution by adding sugar to water until no more sugar could dissolve.
What happens when sugar is stirred into water?
The sugar will dissolve in water because sugar is polar and so is water with hydrogen bonds. When attraction happens, the water molecules will separate the sugar molecules and the sugar will be dissolved.
What determines wether a compound will dissolve in water?
To understand why things dissolve at all, we will look at the solution formation process from a thermodynamic point of view. shows a thermodynamic cycle that represents the formation of a solution from the isolated solute and solvent. From Hess's law we know that we can add the energies of each step in the cycle to determine the energy of the overall process. Therefore, the energy of solution formation, the enthalpy of solution, equals the sum of the three steps--ΔHsoln = ΔH1 + ΔH2 + ΔH3 truth is i dont have a clue......................
What are tails of phospholipids that dont like water?
Hydrophobic
Why does an uncoated painkiller dissolve faster in water than in vinegar?
i really dont know
Can salt dissolves in water without heating?
Yes. But you an only do it by stirring it if you dont then it will not dissolve
Tails of phospholipids that dont like water?
The hydrophobic tails of phospholipids are made up of fatty acid chains that do not mix well with water because they are nonpolar. This causes them to orient themselves away from water to minimize contact, while the hydrophilic heads face toward water due to their polar nature. This unique arrangement allows phospholipids to form bilayers in aqueous environments, such as cell membranes.
If water is the universal solvent how does it not dissolve what you put in?
im sorry, i dont know the answer to the question, this is why i asked it.
Will acidic water dissolve sugar faster than basic?
yes. i dont know why or how. it just will
How long does it take for a panadol to dissolve in water?
A Panadol tablet usually dissolves in water within about 5 to 10 minutes, depending on factors such as water temperature and agitation.
Why water dissolves anything?
Water does not dissolve everything. Some substances dont mix with water. Those are hydrophobic substances, ex: oil molecules

Do simple carbohydrates dissolve in water?
Yes, simple carbohydrates like glucose and fructose are water-soluble and readily dissolve in water due to their molecular structure. This is because they have hydrophilic (water-attracting) properties, allowing them to form bonds with water molecules.
How do solids dissolve?
I dont know
