What is the Hydrophilic end?
The terminal hydroxyl group of a steroid is hydrophilic.
What is both hydrophilic and hydrophobic?
What molecules are both hydrophilic and hydropobic.
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.
Do glycolipids have hydrophilic heads?
Glycolipids contain hydrophilic heads. These hydrophilic heads interact with each other and form a hydrophilic coating on each side of the bilayer point towards the polar solvent.
