What else can I help you with?
Is it true that hydrophilic substances are soluble in water?
Yes, it is true that hydrophilic substances are soluble in water. Hydrophilic substances have an affinity for water and can easily dissolve in it.
What's the difference between hydrophobic and hydrophilic substances?
Hydrophobic substances repel water, while hydrophilic substances attract water.
Is polar hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
Polar substances are hydrophilic, meaning they are attracted to water.
Is polar hydrophilic?
Yes, polar substances are hydrophilic, meaning they are attracted to water and can dissolve in it.
Do some membranes have proteins with chanels that allow for the passage of hydrophilic substances?
Yes, some membranes have protein channels called aquaporins that allow for the passage of hydrophilic substances like water across the membrane. These channels facilitate the movement of water molecules while excluding other substances.
Water is very effective at dissolving other polar substances because of its what?
Because it is hydrophilic...."water-loving." Examples of these are sugars, salts and ions. :)
What is the difference between diffusion of hydrophobic substances in comparison to hydrophilic ones across the plasma membrane?
the hydrophilic easier than hydrophobic substances
Some examples of both hydrophilic and hydrophobic molecules?

What is the difference between hydrophilic and Hydro phobic?
Hydrophilic substances incline to get together with polar substances like water or some ions while hydrophobic substances tend to get together with nonpolar substances like organic compounds. You can understand these identities by imagining that the more two substances are likely in polarity, the eaiser they get together, because they are fit in electic charges so that the energy of the mixture system is lower. Though this theory is rough, hope it can help you underdstand the the difference between hydrophilic and hydrophobic.
What is the opposite word of hydrophobe?
the opposite of hydrophobic is hydrophylic
What are properties of hydrophobic and hydrophilic?
Hydrophobic substances repel water and do not mix well with it due to their non-polar nature, while hydrophilic substances attract and bond with water molecules due to their polar nature. Hydrophobic substances tend to be nonpolar and often include oils and fats, while hydrophilic substances tend to be polar and include salts and sugars.
Is this true some membranes have proteins with channels or pores that allow for passage of hydrophilic substances?
yes it's true.
