    Saving me right now. Mocks are approaching and i making notes alongside your videos and they’re being maintained inside my head. I’M SO GLAD YOU’RE STRAIGHT TO THE POINT ! You don’t even lack the detail needed when answering exam questions so really means a lot. Thank you, thank you x

    hello, I enjoy your videos they hit exactly the spec.
    however, I have a question, isn't water a polar substance? so it shouldn't pass through easily right?

    • @MissEstruchBiology
      @MissEstruchBiology  4 года назад +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.

  • @millieevans204
    @millieevans204 3 года назад +2

    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  3 года назад +2

      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.

      No, both carrier and channel proteins are known as integral proteins as they're both involved in the transport of molecules across the membrane

      That is really flattering that you would like some support, and I am sorry I am not to be able to offer these lessons, but unfortunately, I am stretched to the limit with work and don't have any extra time I could do this in.
