== == 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)

∙ 14y agoFats 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.

∙ 13y agono they are hydrophilic, the tales are the hydrophobic ones.

Some fats, of course, have hydrophyllic heads.

On a phospholipid which part is hydrophobic?
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
What are the parts of a phospholipid molecule?
two layers of phospholipids called the lipid bilayer
What are the parts of phospholipid molecule?
glycerol + two fatty acids +phosphate group
What is the Function of a hydrophobic fatty acid tails?
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.
What are fatty acids in the tale of a phospholipid molecules are?
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
What are the fatty acids in the tail of the phospholipid molecule?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
The fatty acids in a tail of a phospholipid molecule are?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
The fatty acids in the tail of a phospholipid molecule are what?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
On a phospholipid which part is hydrophobic?
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
He fatty acids in the tail of a phospholipid molecule are?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
Which part of phospholipd molecule is non polar and hydrophobic?
The fatty acid tails of the phospholipid is hydrophobic.
The fatty acid in the tail of phospholipid molecule are?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
What inner part of the bilayer is composed of fatty acid?
phospholipid(hydrophobic tail)
What are the parts of a phospholipid molecule?
two layers of phospholipids called the lipid bilayer
What are the parts of phospholipid molecule?
glycerol + two fatty acids +phosphate group
What is the function hydrophilic heads?
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.
What are the parts of a phospholipid?
Head and hydrophobic tail
