Answer 2

A fatty organic compound which is not soluble in polar solvents but it is able to be soluble in non-polar solvent is known as a lipid.

Lipids are present in cell membrane and these are semi-permeable in nature. They help in storing energy, signaling and act as structural component of the cell membrane.

As a result, they are able to regulate membrane permeability.
