The plasma membrane is made up of phospholipids, which each have a hydrophilic tail and a hydrophobic head. They will create two layers with the heads facing each other and the tails facing out. So the inside of the plasma membrane is hydrophobic while the outsides are hydrophilic.
No, it is made up of 90% water, and hence is considered hydrophilic - water soluble.
No, the extra-cellular fluid is composed of water, so it would show attraction to water. It would be considered hydrophilic.
No. Cytoplasm contains water.
Yup!
A cell membrane is a phospholipid bilayer. It is made up of a hydrophilic head(the phosphorous part) and a hydrophobic tail(the lipid part). The hydrophobic tails face inward and the hydrophilic heads face the cytoplasm and the external solution.
Problems with this model:This model assumes that all membranes are identical - this was known to be falseThe membrane proteins would be exposed to hydrophilic environments on all sides (from the phospholipids and from the water of the cytoplasm). This is not a stable configuration.
Starch is a biological compound, or biomolecule. It is a polymer of glucose molecules with the formula (C6H12O6)n. Since it contains oxygen, it is not a hydrocarbon.
hydrophobic is water hating and hydrophilic is water loving ( attracts water).
during transformation, cells (competent) treated with divalents which creates pores in the cell membrane are required to take up the DNA, DNA is hydrophillic then why it cannot pass through the lipid bilayer of plasma membrane where polar tails are facing outwards.

Cytoplasm
hydrophilic b/c carbohydrates are made of sugars; sugars (such as glucose) have LOTS of hydroxyl groups which are hydrophilic, therefore carbohydrates are hydrophilic
true
It is hydrophilic
Hydrophilic

Hydrophilic
hydrophilic materials hydrophilic materials
sucrose is a sugar so it has several OH subgroups thus making it hydrophilic
The terminal hydroxyl group of a steroid is hydrophilic.
What molecules are both hydrophilic and hydropobic.
