What is the Hydrophilic end?
The terminal hydroxyl group of a steroid is hydrophilic.
Where is the hydrophilic portion of membrane?
The head is hydrophilic and the tail is hydrophobic.
What is the head of a phospholipid?
Phosphate containing part that is soluble in water (hydrophilic).
Are carbohydrates hydrophilic or hydrophobic and how do you test this?
hydrophilic b/c carbohydrates are made of sugars; sugars (such as glucose) have LOTS of hydroxyl groups which are hydrophilic, therefore carbohydrates are hydrophilic
What steroid that makes up part of the cell membranes?
Cholesterol
What is the Hydrophilic end?
The terminal hydroxyl group of a steroid is hydrophilic.
Is a steroid hydrophobic or hydrophilic or amphipathic?
Yes. However, more to the point is that steroid hormones are lipophilic.
Where is the hydrophilic portion of membrane?
The head is hydrophilic and the tail is hydrophobic.
Why hydrophilic proteins when placed in hydrophobic solvent their is denaturation of the proteins?
Hydrophilic molecules are repulsed by surrounding hydrophobic solvent. Hydrophilic tends to connect with hydrophilic, and hydrophobic with hydrophobic. If the protein as a part which is hydrophobic, then it will twist itself to accommodate those new connections, and when they change their form, they denature.
What part of a lipid is hydrophobic?
The tails of lipids are hydrophobic and the heads are hydrophilic hope this helped=) The tails of lipids are hydrophobic and the heads are hydrophilic hope this helped=)
Why do steroid hormones need a transport protein to circulate with blood?
Steroid hormones are "lipophilic" (they are fatty molecules which do not dissolve in water.) They would not normally dissolve very well in blood. Proteins are "hydrophilic" and do dissolve in water. Transport proteins bind to steroid hormones and allow dissolution in blood; they also serve to keep most of the hormone molecules inactive until needed.

What is the head of the phospholipid molecules?
Phosphate containing part that is soluble in water (hydrophilic).
What is a cellmembrane?
A cell membrane is a phospholipid bilayer. It is made up of a hydrophilic head(the phosphorous part) and a hydrophobic tail(the lipid part). The hydrophobic tails face inward and the hydrophilic heads face the cytoplasm and the external solution.
What is the function of a hydrophilic?
In emulsifiers the hydrophilic part of the molecule aka the head will be in the water whilst the hydrophobic tail remains in the oil particles. This is useful for cleaning agents. Hope this is helpful.
Is doxycycline hydrocholride part of the steroid family?
No. It's an antibiotic
