Question

question 23 of 25 which part of the cell membrane prevents the cell from dissolving in water? a. phosphate groups b. nucleus c. fatty acids d. cytosol

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The cell - membrane has a phospholipid bilayer. The fatty - acid tails of phospholipids are hydrophobic, which prevents the cell from dissolving in water. Phosphate groups are hydrophilic, the nucleus is not part of the cell - membrane, and cytosol is the intracellular fluid, not a part of the cell - membrane that prevents water dissolution.

Answer:

C. Fatty acids
