What part of the cell membrane prevents organisms from dissolving organisms from dissolving in water?
The lipid bilayer prevents the cell from dissolving in water.
Within a lipid bilayer which part of the phospholipid is in contact with water?
The hydrophilic "head" region of the phospholipid is in contact with water in a lipid bilayer. This head region contains a phosphate group and glycerol and is attracted to water molecules due to its polar nature.
What are the specialized parts of the phospholipid bilayer?
The Phospholipid Bilayer is made up of phospholipids. These phospholipids have a hydrophillic head, and a hydrophobic tail. They are structured so that the hydrophillic head interacts with water, and the hydrophobic tails stays away from water, but mixes with fat. This makes the phospholipids form the phospholipid bilayer. The Phospholipid Bilayer has intrinsic proteins and extrinsic proteins attached, which may have glycoproteins attached to them. Glycolipids may also be attached to the hydrophillic heads of the phospholipid. Cholestrol is also part of the phospholipid bilayer, which adds strengh to the structure.
Is there a part of the phospholipid bilayer that is non polar?
Yes, the hydrophobic tails of phospholipids in the bilayer are non-polar. They consist of fatty acid chains that repel water and face inward towards each other to shield themselves from the surrounding aqueous environment.
Which part of the cell membrane allows the cello exist in water?
The part of the cell membrane that allows cells to exist in water is the phospholipid bilayer. This bilayer consists of hydrophilic (water-attracting) heads facing outward towards the water and hydrophobic (water-repelling) tails facing inward, away from the water. This arrangement creates a barrier that protects the cell while allowing essential substances to pass through, maintaining the cell's integrity and function in an aqueous environment.
Water freely moves through a phospholipid bilayer Why is this unexpected?
It moves through the bilayer via channels. These channels often are for transfer through the bilayer for other chemicals (sodium, potassium, etc) but also allow water to flow through readily. It is unexpected because water is hydrophilic (obviously- all charged molecules are). The phosphate part of the bilayer can bind with water, but the lipid on the inside of the bilayer acts like a layer of oil on the surface of the water- water cannot pass through the hydrophobic lipid.
Is there a part of a phospholipid bilayer that is polar?
The tails, the part that doesn't contain phosphorus, are non polar and they are hydrophobic (afraid of water).
What part of the cell membrane prevents organisms from dissolving organisms from dissolving in water?
The lipid bilayer prevents the cell from dissolving in water.

What inner part of the bilayer is composed of fatty acid?
The inner part of a lipid bilayer is composed of fatty acid tails. These tails are hydrophobic, meaning they repel water and interact with each other to form a barrier that prevents water-soluble molecules from passing through the membrane.
What part of cell membrane Is polar and allows the cell to exist in water?
Phosphate groups
What part of the cell membrane make up the bilayer?
Phospholipids make up the bilayer of the cell membrane. They have hydrophilic (water-attracting) heads that face outward towards the watery environment and hydrophobic (water-repelling) tails that align in the interior of the membrane.
What part of the cell prevents the cell from dissolving water?

Why is the fat-loving part of a emulsifer called the hydrophobic end?
"Hydro" means water and "phobic" means "to fear." So the fat-loving side doesn't like water and will want to interact with fat.
