What is the difference between hydrophobic and hydrophilic molecules nd hydrophilic c?
Hydrophobic is when something repels water and hydrophilic is when something attracts water.
Which materials dissolve in water- hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
hydrophobic
Is hydrophilic the same as hydrophobic?
hydrophilic - loves water hydrophobic - repels water
Does hydrophilic dissolve in waTER?
A hydrophilic substance will dissolve in water. A hydroPHOBIC substance will not.
Is the polar end of the phospholipid plasma membrane hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
A polar molecule is hydrophilic, which means that it will easily dissolve in water. Examples of hydrophilic molecules are sugars and salts.
What are properties of hydrophobic and hydrophilic?
hydrophobic is water hating and hydrophilic is water loving ( attracts water).
What is the similarities of hydrophillic and hydrophobic?
it is the opposite. Hydrophobic is water hating, hydrophilic is water loving. ie, hydrophobic substances avoid water, hydrophilic are attracted

Does hydrophilic dissolve in waTER?
A hydrophilic substance will dissolve in water. A hydroPHOBIC substance will not.
How do hydrophobic and hydrophilic act?
Hydrophobic substances avoid or move away contact with water. Hydrophilic objects move toward water.
What name is given to substances that dissolve easily in water hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
Hydrophilic means that a substance has an affinity for/attraction to water. It binds with water easily. [It is the opposite of hydrophobic, where a substance has an aversion for water. It forms droplets in water (like oil).]
How do the hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties of phospholipids help in maintaining the structure of the cell membrane?
Hydrophilic molecules are attracted to water. Hydrophobic molecules are not attracted to water, but they are attracted to each other. Phospholipid molecules are unusual because they are partly hydrophilic and partly hydrophobic. The phosphate head is hydrophilic and the two hydrocarbon tails are hydrophobic. In water, phospholipids form double layer with the hydrophilic heads in contact with water on both sides and the hydrophilic tails away from water in the centre. This arrangement is found in biological membranes. The attraction between the hydrophobic tails in the centre and between the hydrophilic heads and the surrounding water makes membranes veery stable.
Is the polar end of the phospholipid plasma membrane hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
A polar molecule is hydrophilic, which means that it will easily dissolve in water. Examples of hydrophilic molecules are sugars and salts.
Is cholesterol hydrophobic or hydrophobic?
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
What is the difference between hydrophobic and hydrophilic?
Hydrophilic is having an affinity for water; readily absorbing or dissolving in water.( love water) Hydrophobic is repelling, tending not to combine with, or incapable of dissolving in water.(hate water)
