Question

question 3 of 10 which part of the cell membrane prevents organisms from dissolving in water? a. polar phosphate groups b. large globular proteins c. large negative ions d. nonpolar fatty acid chains

Explanation:

Water is polar. Nonpolar fatty - acid chains in the cell membrane's lipid bilayer repel water due to hydrophobicity, preventing organisms from dissolving in water. Polar phosphate groups are hydrophilic and interact with water, while large globular proteins and large negative ions are not the main components that prevent dissolution in water in this context.

Answer:

D. Nonpolar fatty acid chains
