What parts of the plasma membrane are water soluble?
The plasma membrane is made of phospholipids. Phospholipids contain a hydrophillic head group which is considered water soluable. They also contain a hydrophobic tail group whichi s considered lipid soluable
Is phenyl trimethicone water soluable?
Is trimethicone water soluabe
What kind of molecule is shown in the diagram below?
Lipid
Is a lipid a organic molecule in a living organism?
lipid is fat that only exists in animals, plants do not have lipid
What does it mean when a lipid is non-polar?
There isn't exactly something known as a non-polar lipid. A lipid consists of a polar phosphate 'head' and a non-polar hydrocarbon 'tail'. When something is 'polar', it means that that the charges between a compound aren't shared equally. For example, in water (H2O), H has a slightly positive charge while O has a slightly negative charge. Since the 'head' of the lipid is polar, it attracts H2O molecules and so it is hydrophilic. On the other hand, the 'tail' of the lipid is non-polar, hence it is hydrophobic.
What do you mean by lipid?
Lipids are fats. Vitamins are divided onto two types, those which are water soluable and those which are fat soluable. Fat soluable vitamins are A.D.E and K. Hope this helps.
Difference between lipid soluble drug and water soluble drug?
lipid soluable means that it disolves in fat, and water soluable means it disolves in water.
What group of lipids do hormones and cholesterol fall under?
almost always steroids in regards to hormones r lipid soluable

Is sugar is soluble in alcohol?
Yes, sugar is soluable in alcohol. I am assuming you mean drinking alcohol although it is soluable in all organic alcohols. The hyrdoxy (-OH) groups on both the sugar and the alcohol allow for hydrogen bonding, making sugar very soluable in alcohol. Hydrogen bonds are also the reason sugar is so soluable in water.
How do hormones produce their effects?
Steroid hormones diffuse into cells being lipid-soluable and may enter any cell in the body. They bind a specific protein molecule - the receptor. This activates mRNA transcription.
Why can only molecules that are fat soluable permate a cell membrane?
The cell wall itself is made of lipid. To be more precise, the cell membrane is made of a bilayer of phospholipids. The hydrophobic fatty acid tails prevent water-soluble molecules passing through, but allow the transport of lipid-soluble molecules.

What is sulfur soluable in?
water
How many type of hormones and receptrs meet?
There are several different types of hormones and receptors that meet. The types are peptide hormone receptor, lipid-soluable hormone receptor, thyroid stimulating hormone, insulin hormone, leutinizing hormone, and many more.
What do you call a substance that can be dissolved?
Soluable
