Alcohol is hydrophobic. This is because one part of alcohol is non polar. The other part of alcohol is hydrophilic.
Ethanol is both hydrophilic and hydrophobic. Its hydroxyl (-OH) group makes it hydrophilic, allowing it to dissolve in water. However, its hydrocarbon chain makes it hydrophobic, meaning it can also dissolve nonpolar substances.
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.
The substance that forms the hydrophobic tail on the back end of a phospholipid are fatty acids. Phospholipids are not "true fats" as they have a phosphate group that replaces one of the fatty acids
The lens of the eye is the part that is primarily hydrophobic. It is composed of proteins that repel water, allowing it to maintain its transparency and focus light onto the retina for clear vision.

DNA precipitates in alcohol due to its hydrophobic nature and the presence of phosphate groups that interact with alcohol molecules. When DNA is mixed with alcohol, the hydrophobic regions of the DNA interact with the alcohol molecules, causing the DNA to clump together and precipitate out of solution. Additionally, the negatively charged phosphate groups on the DNA backbone can form interactions with the positively charged ions present in alcohol, further promoting DNA precipitation.
Lipids are not dissolving,. They have a hydrophobic part
That would be the hydrophobic lipid tail.
The lipid tails of a phospholipid molecule are hydrophobic, as they consist of nonpolar fatty acid chains that repel water.

the tail ( carbon hydrogen only part) the COOH part that makes it an acid does engage in hydrogen bonding.
