Yes. Sugars contain many polar hydroxyl groups, so they tend to be quite hydrophilic.

What is hydrophobic and how do you determine if a molecule is hydrophobic?
Hydrophobic means that the molecule is repelled by water. You can tell if a molecule is hydrophobic by the way the atoms are arranged.
Is The hydrophobic part of a cell membrane is on the inside of the phospholipid bilayer?
hydrophobic
Starch cellulose and glycogen are all examples of polysaccharides?
They are all polysaccharides made of glucose monomers.
Why does the tail of the phospholipid molecule of the cell membrane has a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail?
tail is hydrophobic because it has no charges which means it is non-polar.tail is hydrophobic because it has no charges which means it is non-polar.tail is hydrophobic because it has no charges which means it is non-polar.tail is hydrophobic because it has no charges which means it is non-polar.tail is hydrophobic because it has no charges which means it is non-polar.tail is hydrophobic because it has no charges which means it is non-polar.tail is hydrophobic because it has no charges which means it is non-polar.tail is hydrophobic because it has no charges which means it is non-polar.tail is hydrophobic because it has no charges which means it is non-polar.tail is hydrophobic because it has no charges which means it is non-polar.tail is hydrophobic because it has no charges which means it is non-polar.tail is hydrophobic because it has no charges which means it is non-polar.tail is hydrophobic because it has no charges which means it is non-polar.

Why proteins and polysaccharides cannot diffuse through the membrance?
They are too large and usually contain hydrophilic regions which prevent movement across the hydrophobic core of the plasma membrane.
