What do hydrophobic portion of a synthetic detergent molecule usually consists of?
The hydrophobic portion of a synthetic detergent molecule usually consists of a series of hydrocarbons. It is attracted to particles of oil and grease.
What structure in a cell membrane repels charged particles?
The structure in a cell membrane that repels charged particles is the lipid bilayer. The lipid bilayer is composed of phospholipids, which have hydrophilic (water-loving) heads and hydrophobic (water-repelling) tails. This arrangement prevents charged particles from easily crossing the membrane.
What makes phospholipid membranes good at keeping some molecules out?
They have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions
Tiny particles which makes matter?
These particles are called atoms.
What is characteristics of hydrophobic solution?
The meaning of hydrophobic is which rejects water, which cannot be wetted; solids are hydrophobic not liquids.
What do hydrophobic portion of a synthetic detergent molecule usually consists of?
The hydrophobic portion of a synthetic detergent molecule usually consists of a series of hydrocarbons. It is attracted to particles of oil and grease.
What feature of fats makes them hydrophobic?
fats have nonpolar hydrocarbon chain.

Why chlorophyll is insoluble in water?
It is hydrophobic, which makes it insoluble in water. But it soluble in organice solvents.
What specific chemical property makes lipids hydrophobic?
Lipid molecules are hydrophobic because they consist of long carbon-hydrocarbon backbones and contain only a small amount of oxygen.
What makes phospholipid membranes good at keeping some molecules out?
They have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions
Tiny particles which makes matter?
These particles are called atoms.
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 vitamin A hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
hydrophobic
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.
Does nonpolar means hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
Nonpolar means hydrophobic.
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.
