No! Hydrophilic means it is water soluable. Oil (fat) is not soluable in water, so is hydrophobic.

Do phospholipids contain polar tails and nonpolar head groups?
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.
Are triglycerides amphiphilic?
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.
Do lips have oil glands?
No, lips do not have oil glands.
What is oil eating bacteria?
bacteria that eats oil
How do you remove oil from the slide and oil immerssion lens after use?
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.
What are amphiphilic polymers?
Amphiphilic polymers are heterogeneous with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts.
Are bile salts polar or non-polar?
they are both-amphiphilic
Is the following molecule hydrophilic hydrophobic or amphipathic amphiphilic?
Yes, it is correct.
Is acepromazine a cationic amphiphilic drug?
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.
What types of materials are used to reduce surface tension?
Surfactants, which are usually amphiphilic molecules, are used to reduce surface tension.
What is use of lipophilization?
Lipophilization is the covalent grafting of a lipid moiety onto a given molecules to render it either amphiphilic or lipophilic
Do egg white polar or non-polar?
they are amphiphilic, meaning they possess polar and non-polar qualities. Soap is an example of one of these.
What has the author Xiao-Hua Liu written?
Xiao-Hua Liu has written: 'Langmuir-Blodgett studies of amphiphilic liquid crystals and polymers'

What is the structal formula for a lipid?
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.
Are triglycerides amphiphilic?
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.
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.
