It is hydrophilic, because it is a non symetric molecule, one end of it (the group CH3) is non polar while the other (OH) is polar, this part is attracted to water molecules which are also polar (one part of them is positive and the other negative) therefore you can mix methanol with water.
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.
Cysteine is considered hydrophobic.
it is the opposite. Hydrophobic is water hating, hydrophilic is water loving. ie, hydrophobic substances avoid water, hydrophilic are attracted
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.
Silica is hydrophilic, meaning it has an affinity for water and tends to absorb or attract water molecules.
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.
