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 happens when a lipid is mixed with water and why?
When a lipid is mixed with water, the lipid molecules will form structures such as micelles or lipid bilayers due to their hydrophobic tails being shielded from the water by their hydrophilic heads. This is because lipids are amphipathic molecules with both hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions.
Do lipid mix with water?
No.they do not mix with water.
What is a lipid the keeps water in their leaves?
Cuticle is the lipid that helps keep water in leaves by forming a waxy layer on the surface, reducing water loss through transpiration.
What part of phospholipid is not attracted to water?
That would be the hydrophobic lipid tail.
Which part of a phospolipid molecule is hydrophobic?
The lipid tails of a phospholipid molecule are hydrophobic, as they consist of nonpolar fatty acid chains that repel water.
What is a fatty substance that does not dissolve in water?
lipid
Why is the cell membrane called a phosopholipid?
Because the molecules from which they are made have one end containing a phosphate group that "likes" water and a tail end made from a fat (a lipid) that "hates" 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.
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 is part of waterproof coverings?
its a lipid
What is the Equation for hydrolysis of a lipid?
The general equation for the hydrolysis of a lipid molecule is: Lipid + water → fatty acid(s) + glycerol
What happens when a lipid is mixed with water and why?
When a lipid is mixed with water, the lipid molecules will form structures such as micelles or lipid bilayers due to their hydrophobic tails being shielded from the water by their hydrophilic heads. This is because lipids are amphipathic molecules with both hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions.
Can water cross the lipid bilayer?
Yes, water can cross the lipid bilayer through a process called simple diffusion.
Do lipid mix with water?
No.they do not mix with water.
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.
