Hydrophobic translates as "water-fearing". Practically speaking it means that it does not mix with water.
Hydrophobic material, they repel water.
Oil is hydrophobic because its chemical formula doesn't allow it to dissolve in water. In other words, it's "water hating".
Enzymes, being proteins, are made of many amino acids of which some are hydrophobic. These hydrophobic amino acids tend to shun water and fold into the interior of the protein enzyme. Enzymes are in solution so the hydrophobic sections would be away from the solution on the inside and the hydrophillic amino acids would tend to be on the outside of the enzyme. So, is a limited sense, you could say enzymes are hydrophyllic
No, hydrophobic substances do not dissolve in water because they are repelled by water molecules. This is because hydrophobic substances are non-polar, while water molecules are polar, causing them to be incompatible.
Acids and bases can vary in their hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity depending on their specific chemical structure. In general, some acids can be hydrophobic, such as fatty acids, while others can be hydrophilic, like strong mineral acids. Bases can also exhibit a range of hydrophilic or hydrophobic properties based on their structure, with some being more hydrophobic and others more hydrophilic.
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
hydrophobic
Hydrophobic describes molecules that are repelled by water. You can determine if a molecule is hydrophobic by looking at its structure - if it contains mostly nonpolar covalent bonds or hydrophobic functional groups (e.g. alkyl groups), it is likely to be hydrophobic. Additionally, hydrophobic molecules tend to aggregate together in water due to the hydrophobic effect.
Hydrophobic.
One can create hydrophobic water by adding a hydrophobic substance, such as a surfactant or a hydrophobic coating, to the water. This substance will repel water molecules, causing the water to exhibit hydrophobic properties.
The meaning of hydrophobic is which rejects water, which cannot be wetted; solids are hydrophobic not liquids.
yes it is!!! it has an hydrophobic permeability barrier predominantly in phospholipids
