well being ethanol is an alcohol, I'd say hydrophilic because alcohol can mix in water, as opposed to oil which separates.
Yes, phospholipids have a hydrophilic "head" region and hydrophobic "tail" region. The head region is attracted to water and is hydrophilic, while the tail region repels water and is hydrophobic. This unique structure allows phospholipids to form the lipid bilayer of cell membranes.
The phosphate group is hydrophilic, meaning it has an affinity for water. It contains charged atoms (such as oxygen) that readily interact with water molecules through hydrogen bonding.
Phosphate is hydrophilic, meaning it has an affinity for water and can dissolve in it. This is because phosphate groups contain polar covalent bonds that can interact with water molecules through hydrogen bonding.
It depends on the surface status of the silicon. Bare silicon surface without any chemical termination is 'hydrophobic'. But this is very unstable status and it is very easily oxidized forming native SiO2 layer in the air which is 'hydrophilic'. Chemical treatment to make silicon surface hydrogen terminated will make it hydrophobic; while surface with OH termination will make it hydrophilic.
Sand is generally considered hydrophilic, meaning it has an affinity for water and can easily absorb moisture. The degree of hydrophobicity can vary depending on the specific composition of the sand.
hydrophobic
Starches can be both hydrophobic and hydrophilic, although most of them are hydrophilic.
Hydrophilic
Hydrophilic molecules are repulsed by surrounding hydrophobic solvent. Hydrophilic tends to connect with hydrophilic, and hydrophobic with hydrophobic. If the protein as a part which is hydrophobic, then it will twist itself to accommodate those new connections, and when they change their form, they denature.
Soap is both hydrophobic and hydrophilic. It has a hydrophobic tail that repels water and a hydrophilic head that attracts water, allowing it to interact with both water and oils.
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
The molecule is nonpolar and hydrophobic.
Cysteine is considered hydrophobic.
A phospholipid has both hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) parts, making it amphipathic.
1. Is clean wool hydrophobic or hydrophilic? Why?
Glucose is hydrophilic, meaning it is attracted to water.
