Phospholipids and glycolipids are more soluble in water compared to triglycerides due to the presence of a hydrophilic head group, which interacts favorably with water molecules. Triglycerides, being composed mostly of hydrophobic fatty acid chains, are less soluble in water.

Is the lipid bilayer permeable to most water soluble substances?

The lipid bilayer is impermeable to most water-soluble substances.The bilayer, most of which is a phospholipid bilayer, is permeable only to small, non-polar substances.In nature, the most common compounds to pass through the bilayer are carbon dioxide and oxygen.Scientists differ over how much water passes in and out of cells through the bilayer; some passes through special transport proteins called aquaporins.

What lipid type is most soluble in water triacyglyerols glycerophospholipids oils steroids or waxes?

Glycerophospholipid is more soluble in water because it contains both polar and non polar regions, which allow them interact with polar and non polar substance. The ionized alcohol and phosphate portion is polar and strongly attracted to water.
