If a chemical is insoluble in water,insoluble in lipid, only soluble in organic solvents, how can the human body absorb it. Many nutritional supplements fit into this category. Thank You.
1. You were informed that the oil spill that took place in the Kalba sea reached water desalination plants in the Fujairah area.
Formulate a hypothesis to state whether these bacteria will be able to thrive and function properly if they were to be used to treat oil spills in freshwater environments like the Fujairah desalination plants. Support your claim with scientific reasoning explaining why or why not.
