Answer:
covalent, which repel water molecules
they contain ions, which make the entire molecule hydrophilic
they are less dense than liquid water, so they float on the surface
most of their bonds are nonpolar covalent, so they are not attracted to water
Your answer
Explanation:
D. Polarity and size.
<span>The size, polarity, and charge of a substance will determine whether or not the substance can cross the cell membrane by diffusion. The cholesterol was an example of a lipid, and is highly soluble in the nonpolar environment of the lipid bilayer. You saw, in the animation above, the cholesterol freely passing into the hydrophobic environment of the membrane. Cholesterol distributes freely in the membrane and then some fraction will dissolve in the aqueous environment of the cytoplasm. Water, on the other hand, while polar, is small enough to cross the membrane at a slow rate. Note that specialized transport proteins in certain cell membranes can provide a channel for the water, greatly increasing its rate of crossing the membrane. The lipid bilayer is much less permeable to the ion, because of its charge and larger size. As a general rule, charged molecules are much less permeable to the lipid bilayer.</span>
They will not mix because the oil does not have a chemical charge large enough to break the hydrogen bonds between the water molecules.
