    The key point at 3:50 is that *the water is also hydrophilic*. Water likes to touch other water (water molecules are attracted to each other but not attracted to fatty tails). This is the main reason why the water would prefer to escape from inside the layer.

    Instead of saying that it's semi-permeable, the proper term that should be used is that it is selectively permeable. Otherwise it's a great video!

      @JoeBorealis actually, they aren’t, semi means half, so by saying that it’s semi permeable would mean that half of the substances _can_ permeate it, which isn’t true. Selectively permeable would mean that only a few selected substances can permeate it, meaning those that are small and polar.

    • @veronicanoordzee6440
      @veronicanoordzee6440 5 років тому +1

      A polar molecule has two oppositely charged poles. A molecule is made up of different atoms and some atoms keep their electrons better to themselves than others. Therefore one part of the molecule can have more electrons than the other part. That's called polarity. But remember, the molecule as a whole is still neutral.

    why does the phospholipid bilayer only allow non-polar molecules to pass through? I understand its because it's hydrophobic...but how does that link to it being able to diffuse quickly???

    • @akh345
      @akh345 6 років тому +1

      Non-polar molecules are not truly "hydrophobic" they are just ignored by water and everyone else. All of it arises because water is attracted to other water. Imagine a bunch of small magnets (polar) floating in oil (non-polar). Oil isn't "afraid" of magnets and magnets don't repel oil. It is just that magnets want to be near other magnets. Magnets (polar) will attract each other and form a layer while oil (non-polar) will still be able to pass through the gaps between them.

    If ethanol can pass very slowly through the cell membrane, does it mean that you can get drunk after lying your arm into alcohol for a while?

    • @ceralanae3093
      @ceralanae3093 4 роки тому +1

      There are reported cases of ethanol poisoning in children who were wrapped in sheets soaked in alcohol. Some people use this method as home remedy to lower the body temperature. (don't do it) But children's skin is more permeable compared to adults' skin.
      So, maybe you wouldn't get drunk after lying only your arm in alcohol. Maybe if you took a bath in alcohol... 🤔
