Is paraffin hydrophobic?
because it is made of a compound containing hydrogen and carbon
Is oil hydrophobic?
Oil is hydrophobic because its chemical formula doesn't allow it to dissolve in water. In other words, it's "water hating".
What molecule has hydrophobic fats oils waxes and steroids made from mainly carbon and hydrogen atoms in long chains?
lipids
How does heat denatured protein?
It breaks the hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions between different parts of the protein molecule. Proteins are composed of amino acid subunits linked together by peptide bonds—this is called a polypeptide and is also known as the primary structure of a protein. The primary structure interacts with itself (also known as folding) forming hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions with different parts of the same molecule. Heat disrupts the hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions leaving the protein to unfold when it is heated. Since heat is not strong enough to break the peptide bonds between the amino acid subunits, the primary structure remains intact. Once the protein is cooled again, the hydrogen bonds and hydrophobic interactions can reform since they are based on the makeup of the primary structure and it hasn't changed. :) Hope this helps.
What is characteristics of hydrophobic solution?
The meaning of hydrophobic is which rejects water, which cannot be wetted; solids are hydrophobic not liquids.
Is Hydrophobic interactions are stronger than hydrogen bond?
Hydrophobic interactions are repulsive and hydrogen bonds are attractive forces. So, not sure hydrophobic interaction is classified as a "force" but rather and "interaction". Hydrogen bonds are relatively strong forces. It's really difficult to compare hydrophobic interaction with hydrogen bond because they are sort of opposite.
Is hexane hydrophobic compound?
Yes, hexane is hydrophobic as it can not make hydrogen bonds with water.
What is a quaternary structure?
hydrogen bonding, electrostatic attraction, hydrophili-hydrophobic
Is paraffin hydrophobic?
because it is made of a compound containing hydrogen and carbon
Is oil hydrophobic?
Oil is hydrophobic because its chemical formula doesn't allow it to dissolve in water. In other words, it's "water hating".
What holds two strands of DNA togheter?
Hydrogen bonds and the hydrophobic effect
Which part of a fatty acid is hydrophobic?
the tail ( carbon hydrogen only part) the COOH part that makes it an acid does engage in hydrogen bonding.
What is a hydrophobic organic compound composed mainly of carbon and a high ratio of hydrogen to oxygen?
Lipid
What are the forces which create the tertiary structure of a polypeptide?
Four of them are; hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions, hydrogen bonding and disulphide bridging.
A series of hydrophobic side chains will congregate together as a protein folds in an aqueous solution and be stabilized by?
A series of hydrophobic side chains will congregate together as a protein folds in an aqueous solution and be stabilized by Hydrogen Bonds.
Is it true that amphipathic molecules are molecules that do not contain any hydrogen atom?
No, that is not true. They are molecules that have both hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts.
What molecule has hydrophobic fats oils waxes and steroids made from mainly carbon and hydrogen atoms in long chains?
lipids
