Penetrating solutes can cross cell membranes easily due to their ability to dissolve in lipids, while non-penetrating solutes cannot cross cell membranes easily because they do not dissolve in lipids.


Why do hydrophobic molecules pass through cell membranes easily?

Hydrophobic molecules pass through cell membranes easily because the cell membrane is made up of a double layer of lipids, which are also hydrophobic. This allows hydrophobic molecules to dissolve in the lipid layer and pass through the membrane without resistance.

What could happen if cell membranes were not made of lipids?

If cell membranes were not made of lipids, the structure and function of the cell could be compromised. Lipids play a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of the cell membrane, regulating what enters and exits the cell. Without lipids, the cell membrane may not be able to properly protect the cell and maintain its internal environment, leading to potential dysfunction and cell death.
