In terms of biochemistry, hydrophobia is the repulsion shown by a molecule to water. Lipids such as glycerol are a classic example, which is not soluble in water and will float on the surface.

The interior of the phospholipid bilayer is?
Hydrophobic.
How would you define hydrophobic substance?
All substances that are water repelling are considered hydrophobic substances. Ex: Oil, Waxes, etc..
Lipids contain what types of regions?
Hydrophobic (water repulsive) regions. Form emulsions when mixed with aqeous compounds (ie. classic oil & water example)
What is hydrophobic compound?
Oil is one of the best examples of substance that is hydrophobic which canÕt mix or dissolve with water. It is highly hydrophobic because the interaction in oil is more compact than other compounds.
Why do hydrophobic substances dissolve in water?
It depends on the physical properties of the substance. Sometimes heating a hydrophobic substance can increase solubility. Also, heating may cause the substance to denature and dissolve. In the case of proteins, proteins can contain many hydrophobic parts but still be soluble in water. However, hydrophobic substances do not typically dissolve in water, due to the polar nature of water. Typically, scientists use the word "hydrophobic" only to describe substances that have a negligible solubility in water. You may have meant to ask "why do hydrophilic substances dissolve in water".
What is a example of a hydrophobic material?
Wax
What are example of hydrophobic monomers?
Laryl acrylate
Is cholesterol hydrophobic or hydrophobic?
Cholesterol has many hydrophobic side chains and a single hydrophilic side chain. Because it contains both hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups, it is amphipathic.yes cholesterol Hydrophobic , choestol not soluble in water
Is vitamin A hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
hydrophobic
What is hydrophobic and how do you determine if a molecule is hydrophobic?
Hydrophobic means that the molecule is repelled by water. You can tell if a molecule is hydrophobic by the way the atoms are arranged.
Does nonpolar means hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
Nonpolar means hydrophobic.
Why small molecule - protein interactions are generally domninated by hydrophobic interactions?
An example of the protein-protein interactions is the antigen-antibody interactions. Because of the complexity of the protein molecules, the hydrophobic interactions are more dominant.
Are lipids hydrophobic or hydrophobic?
All Lipids are hydrophobic: that's the one property they have in common. This group of molecules includes fats and oils, waxes, phospholipids, steroids and cholesterol.
The interior of the phospholipid bilayer is?
Hydrophobic.
Is the phosphate group hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
hydrophobic
Is The hydrophobic part of a cell membrane is on the inside of the phospholipid bilayer?
hydrophobic
What is characteristics of hydrophobic solution?
The meaning of hydrophobic is which rejects water, which cannot be wetted; solids are hydrophobic not liquids.
