Why do lipids make effective cell membranes in living cells?

Chemistry
2 answers:
Vaselesa [24]3 years ago
4 0

The answer is the second option. Lipids make effective cell membranes in living cells because lipids (fats) are not soluble in water. This means that lipids and water do not mix... This lipid bilayer helps to protect the cell.
