Small, nonpolar, hydrophobic molecules such as fatty acids pass readily through a membrane's lipid bilayer.
The cell membrane, which is selectively permeable and controls the passage of molecules into and out of the cell, facilitates the movement of substances or molecules throughout the cell.
A thin polar membrane composed of two layers of lipid molecules is the lipid bilayer. These membranes are flat sheets that surround all cells and act as a continuous barrier.
A lipid-rich cell membrane will not repel small, nonpolar hydrophobic molecules like fatty acids, so they enter the cell through simple diffusion. This indicates that they easily and without assistance penetrate the lipid bilayer of a membrane. Because they are a class of lipids and soluble in the lipid layer of the cell membrane, fatty acids are able to pass through the lipid-bilayered membranes easily.
