This is a hydrophile molecule.
A molecule that is water-loving and part of the phospholipid bilayer is a phospholipid. Phospholipids have a hydrophilic (water-loving) head and hydrophobic (water-fearing) tail, making them ideal for forming the bilayer structure of cell membranes.
Hydrophilic (water loving)
The fat-loving part of an emulsifying molecule is called the hydrophobic end because it repels water. This end is attracted to other non-polar substances like oils and fats, allowing it to surround and stabilize them in water-based environments.
Amphipathic(1) Pertains to a molecule containing both polar (water-soluble) and nonpolar (water-soluble) portions in its structure.(2) Of, or relating to, a molecule having hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions.www.biology-online.org
Ammonia is a polar molecule that can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, so it is considered hydrophilic (water-loving) rather than hydrophobic (water-fearing).
There is no scientific term "hydropholic." It may be a misspelling of "hydrophilic," which means having an affinity for water. Hydrophilic substances tend to be soluble in water or have an ability to attract and interact with water molecules.
The lipophilic tail of a surfactant molecule is considered to be hydrophobic, meaning it repels water and is attracted to nonpolar substances such as oil or grease. This allows the surfactant to interact with both water and oil, helping to emulsify them and form stable mixtures.
It means: NOT 'loving' the water, it is quite unsoluble in water or badly mixable with water when it is a fluid. (E.g. oil, fat, petrol). The opposite is hydrophylic: salts, sugar, acids, alcohol, many food stuffs
Yes, fructose is the most soluble carbohydrate in water.
Phospholipids are made up of both water loving, and water repelling materials. They head, which is made of glycerol, is water repelling and therefore forms the outer and inner parts of the cell, away from the water. Where as the tails are made up of fatty acids that are water loving and point in between the heads, and into the water between the two glycerol layers.
Hydrophilic, or 'water loving' refers to molecules that are easily miscible in water. Polar molecules and ionic compounds are generally hydrophilic, and non-polar molecules are generally hydrophobic.See the Related Questions to the left for more information about how to determine if a molecule is non-polar, polar, or ionic.
Water IS a polar molecule.
