Question

question 20 of 25 what would happen if the fatty acids in a cell membrane were polar molecules? a. the cell would need to use facilitated diffusion b. the cell would not be able to use passive transport c. the cell would dissolve in water d. the cell would block water from entering

Explanation:

Cell membranes have non - polar fatty acids which create a barrier in water. If fatty acids were polar, they would interact with water molecules. Since water is polar, the cell membrane structure would break down and the cell would dissolve in water.

Answer:

C. The cell would dissolve in water.
