Detergents are compounds that dissolve lipids. if a cell were exposed to large concentrations of detergents, which cell part would likely suffer the greatest?

Ans.

Detergents are chemical compounds having both polar and non-polar components. They cause disruption of lipid molecules by breakdown bonds present between lipid molecules. In a cell, lipids are majorly present in cell membrane and membranes of internal cell organelles.

Thus, 'the cell part that would most likely suffer due to exposure to high concentration of lipids is cell membrane.'
