Is the phosphate group hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
hydrophobic
Is phosphate hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
The phosphate group is polar. Therefore it is Hydrophilic.
Are phospholipids hydrophilic molecules?
Yes. They have a hydrophillic head and a hydrophobic tail.
Is sand hydrophobic?
No. Most natural sand is hydrophilic.
Is silicon hydrophobic?
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.
Is silica hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
It is hydrophilic
Is starch hydrophobic?
Starches can be both hydrophobic and hydrophilic, although most of them are hydrophilic.
Is vitamin A hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
hydrophobic
Why hydrophilic proteins when placed in hydrophobic solvent their is denaturation of the proteins?
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.

What are properties of hydrophobic and hydrophilic?
hydrophobic is water hating and hydrophilic is water loving ( attracts water).
What is the difference between hydrophobic and hydrophilic molecules nd hydrophilic c?
