One word for hydrophobic and hydrophilic?
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
is water a non polar molecule?
A non-polar molecule is typically not soluble in water because they lack ionic groups capable of water molecule interaction. A term for this type of insolubility is "hydrophobic."
Why does polarity happen?
a polar molecule is a molecule such as a lipid that has one part of it attracting something , such as water (hydrophillic) and the other repeling it (hydrophobic)
What happens if water is a polar molecule?
Water IS a polar molecule.
Why are hydrophobic substances important in cells?
It ensures that certain key components or activities of a cell are not destroyed when the cell is exposed to water
What is the most hydrophobic molecule?
Probably the most hydrophobic molecule is the cholesterol molecule. It is composed mostly of fat and therefore will move away when exposed to water,
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.
What happens when they exposed to water?

Is urea hydrophobic?
Urea is a water-soluble compound with a formula of (NH2)2CO , found in urine. Hydrophobic indicates a molecule that is non-polar, and therefore insoluble in water, so Urea is not hydrophobic.

What are the parts of the phosopholipid molecule?
There are two parts to the phospholipid molecule. One is a hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain, which points away from water. The other is a hydrophilic phosphate ionic group, often represented as the "head" of the molecule, which points towards water.
Why does the presence of an oil reduce foaming in liquid soap?
foam is created by small bubbles or mycelles. These are formed by molecules which are hydrophobic (repelled by water) on one end and hydrophilic (attracted by water) on the other. In water, these molecules form a 2 molecule thick layer with the hydrophobic tails on the inside (protected from water) and the hydrophilic ends on the outer side (touching the water). This layer forms the skin/membrane of a bubble. Oil is hydrophobic and disrupts the formation of this 2 molecule thick membrane.
