Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Glycerol can cross the cell membrane or not has to be explained.

Concept introduction:

A lipid bilayer is formed when phosphoglyceride self-assemble in water.  The surface of the bilayer is polar and hence it is water soluble.  The lipid bilayer is the main fabric of cell membrane.  The lipid bilayer acts as a barrier which restrict the flow of water and ions through cell membranes.  If the compound has a hydrophobic group means it can cross the non-polar environment and if a compound has hydrophilic group it cannot cross the non-polar environment.

To explain: whether glycerol can cross cell membrane or not.
