== == Fats, oils, lipids are hydrophobic. Another way to put it would be to clasify hydrophobic as (water hating). And hydrophilic (water loving).
If a substance is polar, it will dissolve, hydrophilic. (remember it as 'like dissolves like')
If a substance is non-polar it will not dissolve in solution, this would be hydrophobic . (add oil onto water, you will see it does not mix. The oil is separated, and will never dissolve)
Fats are composed of 3 long fatty acids connected to a single glycerol molecule. The fatty acids are composed of long carbon chains with a hydroxyl group at the top. The carbon chains of the fatty acids are nonpolar and thus make the fat nonpolar and hydrophobic.
no they are hydrophilic, the tales are the hydrophobic ones.
Those long carbon-hydrogen bonded tails. Hydrophobicity personified.
Some fats, of course, have hydrophyllic heads.
The substance that forms the hydrophobic tail on the back end of a phospholipid are fatty acids. Phospholipids are not "true fats" as they have a phosphate group that replaces one of the fatty acids
two layers of phospholipids called the lipid bilayer
glycerol + two fatty acids +phosphate group
A fatty acid has a hydrophobic tail this means that it does not like to come into contact with water, like when oil wont mix with water and satys separate as a layer or blobs under the surface.
Lipids. Fats that you take in from your food is used to build membranes. Membranes can be represented by models such as The Fluid Mosaic Model, which displays the phospholipid bilayr, and other tissues on the membrane.The fatty acids in the tail of a phospholipid molecule are non-polar and hydrophobic.Polyunsaturated fatty acids, Saturated fatty acids, Monounsaturated fatty acidsLauric Acid, Myristic Acid, Palmitic Acid, Stearic Acid, Oleic Acid, Linoleic Acid, Linolenic Acid , Arachidonic Acid
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule

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.
