Is peanut butter hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
for the mostpart hydrophobic. peanut butter is very fatty (i.e. oily). These lipids are long chained carbon compounds, with little polarity (acid group)
Is peanut butter made out of butter?
Not usually although it is possible...soap is usually made out of a base like lye. Most soap has a dual affinity for water. One end of the molecule is hydroscopic while the other end is hydrophobic. The hydrophobic end will attach itself to grease(and other lipids) surrounding it. The hydroscopic end will then attach itself to water and allow the lipid to be dissolved within the shell of soap. Peanut butter is largely hydrophobic so you could use peanut butter for this purpose but it would require some chemical rearrangment to be effective.
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.
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
How do you make the different textures of chocolate?
Materials that are hydrophobic (dislikes water) versus hydrophilic (likes water). The cocoa mass in chocolate is hydrophilic, whereas the hydrophobic cocoa butter fat molecules are composed mainly of carbon and hydrogen and do not readily interact with water. Hydrophobic and hydrophilic materials do not mix well. So an amphiphilic molecule (that likes both water and oil) is added. Such a mixture is called an emulsion. An "emulsifier" that is commonly added to chocolate is soy lecithin ,that promotes mixing of cocoa solids and cocoa butter: these amphiphilic molecules coat the hydrophilic cocoa solids with a hydrophobic layer, thereby helping to maintain a stable chocolate, and making the chocolate feel smooth in your mouth.
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.
