Answer:lipid molecules

Explanation:

lipid molecules prevent membrane from dissolving and they are also known as phospholipids.

A lipid molecule could be imagined as rectangle. With one end i.e the bottom of the lipid molecule that is hydrophilic which means they are water-loving.

The other end of the head of the lipid molecule which is hydrophobic, which is the non-polar and water-fearing end of the molecule.

Within protective layer surrounding the outside cell(Cell membrane) there are large amounts of lipid molecules. Phospholipids are the most abundant that prevent membrane from dissolving.

Water is a polar solvent and prefers dissolving polar molecules such as salt but Lipids is a non polar molecule and can't be dissolved by water the presence in abundance prevents dissolution.

Sulfur is known as the essential nutrient for plant growth. Sulfur playing various important role in plants. About 90% of the sulfur is absorbed by the plants for the purpose of amino acids synthesis, known as the building blocks of proteins. Sulfur is important for the enzyme which is helping in the formation of the chlorophyll molecule. Sulfur is essential for the synthesis of oil crops.

In human body sulfur playing some essential role such as amino acid production which is converting into proteins and producing enzymes. Sulfur is important for insulin production, insulin allow the cells to use glucose as energy. Sulfur is found in most important antioxidant known as glutathione, which helping in the inhibition of oxidation of the other molecules and preventing from cell damage. Collagen provide skin strength and structure, sulfur is important for collagen synthesis as well.
