None of those seems like a particularly good answer.
it is the opposite. Hydrophobic is water hating, hydrophilic is water loving. ie, hydrophobic substances avoid water, hydrophilic are attracted
No, you do not have that quite correct. A Phospholipid molecule has one end that is hydrophilic (is attracted to water) while the other end is hydrophobic (is repelled water but is attracted to fats).
Hydrophilic (water loving)
No. If oil did have a polar covalent bond, that would make it hydrophilic (attracted to water) and oil is hydrophobic (repels water). All the covalent bonds in the hydrocarbon tails are non-polar covalent.
A fatty acid consists of the polar acidic -COOH functional group and the non-polar alkyl CnH2n+1 chain, which in most cases, n=15-18. A triglyceride consists of distinct hydrophillic (glycerol) and hydrophobic (fatty acid) sections, but to answer your question, the fatty acid itself has a hydrophillic part which is the -COOH group.

That would be the hydrophobic lipid tail.
That would be the hydrophobic lipid tail.
The hydrophobic portion of a synthetic detergent molecule usually consists of a series of hydrocarbons. It is attracted to particles of oil and grease.
Hydrophobic molecules avoid water. Strictly speaking, they do not attract water, and therefore water will avoid them, since it is more attracted to other molecules or to itself.
Hydrophilic molecules are attracted to water. Hydrophobic molecules are not attracted to water, but they are attracted to each other. Phospholipid molecules are unusual because they are partly hydrophilic and partly hydrophobic. The phosphate head is hydrophilic and the two hydrocarbon tails are hydrophobic. In water, phospholipids form double layer with the hydrophilic heads in contact with water on both sides and the hydrophilic tails away from water in the centre. This arrangement is found in biological membranes. The attraction between the hydrophobic tails in the centre and between the hydrophilic heads and the surrounding water makes membranes veery stable.
no, that would mean water molecules are not attracted to other water molecules
Urea is a water-soluble compound with a formula of (NH2)2CO , found in urine. Hydrophobic indicates a molecule that is non-polar, and therefore insoluble in water, so Urea is not hydrophobic.
Hydrophobic is the tail of the the molecule that is atrracted to fatty acids and is a water fearing subtance. Also the tail is None-Polar. Hydrophilic is fatty acid fearing and is attracted to water it is the head of the hydrophobic tail. The head is polar.
No. Hydrophobic literally means "afraid of water," so they will repel each other, most likely because the other substance is non-polar.
No, you do not have that quite correct. A Phospholipid molecule has one end that is hydrophilic (is attracted to water) while the other end is hydrophobic (is repelled water but is attracted to fats).
Phospholipid bilayer which consist of hydrophobic tail (repelled by water) and hydrophilic head (attracted to water).The other component are cholestrol.
