    • @MissEstruchBiology
      @MissEstruchBiology  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Water is dipolar, but due to the hydrophilic head on the phospholipid, which attracts water, it can enter the membrane.

      @@0x1_chips The hydrophilic heads attract the water into the middle of the bilayer. The hydrophobic tails do then repel the water, but they repel the water to the other side of the bilayer, helped by the opposite hydrophilic head attracting it.
      This enables water to pass through, also helped by it being a very small molecule.

    how can water pass through if it’s a polar molecule i thought the whole point is that the fatty acid tails r hydrophobic and they repel water

    • @MissEstruchBiology
      @MissEstruchBiology  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey, there are protein channels (aquaporins) that water can diffuse through because it is such a small molecule. As it is so small it can diffuse through the membrane too. It can dissolve in the charged hydrophillic heads, and the hydrophobic tails repel the water to the other side of the membrane.
      Hope that helps.
