    • @MissEstruchBiology
      @MissEstruchBiology  3 года назад +1

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

      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 года назад +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.
