No! Hydrophilic means it is water soluable. Oil (fat) is not soluable in water, so is hydrophobic.
Only living beings can be phobic to anything.
Yes.
The compound with both a non-polar tail and a polar head is called an amphiphilic molecule. An amphiphilic molecule can form micelles. These such micelles is how detergents dissolve dirt. A big example of micelles are phospholipids.
No. Because the polar hydroxyls of glycerol and the polar carboxylates of the fatty acids are bound in ester linkages, triglycerides are nonpolar, hydrophobic molecules, that are essentially insoluble in water.
No, lips do not have oil glands.
bacteria that eats oil
When you desire to remove oil from a slide and an immersion lens after using, for example, cedar oil, you would use Xylene to remove the oil. Natural oils can harden on the lens otherwise.
Amphiphilic polymers are heterogeneous with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts.
Yes, it is correct.
Most likely, yes. It has a weakly-basic amine head group (cationic-hydrophilic) and a heterocyclic tail group that would be expected to give hydrophobic character to the molecule, making the molecule both cationic and amphiphilic.
Surfactants, which are usually amphiphilic molecules, are used to reduce surface tension.
Lipophilization is the covalent grafting of a lipid moiety onto a given molecules to render it either amphiphilic or lipophilic
Sulfosuccinate esters are commonly used in Turkey Red Oil due to their excellent miscibility in both oil and water. These esters are amphiphilic molecules with a hydrophilic sulfate group and a lipophilic ester group, which allows them to form stable emulsions.
Xiao-Hua Liu has written: 'Langmuir-Blodgett studies of amphiphilic liquid crystals and polymers'
Soap is used as a cleansing agent because it can break down and remove dirt, oil, and other organic compounds from surfaces due to its amphiphilic nature. This means it has both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties, allowing it to interact with both water and oils to lift away impurities when mixed with water.

Oil is miscible in a solution of surfactant and water due to the amphiphilic nature of surfactants. Surfactants have both hydrophobic (oil-attracting) and hydrophilic (water-attracting) parts, which allow them to interact with both oil and water molecules, facilitating the formation of stable emulsions. This enables the oil to disperse evenly in the water, making it miscible.
There are a great many kinds of lipids see the Sources and related links below. Lipids may be broadly defined as hydrophobic or amphiphilic small molecules.
No. Because the polar hydroxyls of glycerol and the polar carboxylates of the fatty acids are bound in ester linkages, triglycerides are nonpolar, hydrophobic molecules, that are essentially insoluble in water.
