What are amphiphilic polymers?
Amphiphilic polymers are heterogeneous with both hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts.
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
What makes phospholipid membranes good at keeping some molecules out?
They have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions
Which molecule has hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties and would be found in plasma membranes?
That would be phospholipids. They are a major component of the plasma membrane and contain hydrophilic, as well as, hydrophobic properties.
Is starch hydrophobic?
Starches can be both hydrophobic and hydrophilic, although most of them are hydrophilic.
Is DNA hydrophilic molecule?
Dna has a hydrophilic and hydrophobic side, also you have to remember that DNA is a polar molecule
Are lipids hydrophobic or hydrophobic?
All Lipids are hydrophobic: that's the one property they have in common. This group of molecules includes fats and oils, waxes, phospholipids, steroids and cholesterol.
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
Is silica hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
It is hydrophilic
Is vitamin A hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
hydrophobic
Why is a phospholipid both hydrophilic and hydrophobic?
They have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic heads. In a lipid bilayer, the hydrophilic head of the phospholipid faces the outside of the membrane while the hydrophobic head faces the the hydrophobic head of another phospholipid.
Is starch hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
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.
Is acrylic acid hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
Hydrophilic
Is N-H hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
hydrophilic
Are fish scales hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
Hydrophilic
Why hydrophilic proteins when placed in hydrophobic solvent their is denaturation of the proteins?
Hydrophilic molecules are repulsed by surrounding hydrophobic solvent. Hydrophilic tends to connect with hydrophilic, and hydrophobic with hydrophobic. If the protein as a part which is hydrophobic, then it will twist itself to accommodate those new connections, and when they change their form, they denature.
