Hydro means water, phobic means to hate and philic means to love, so hydrophobic are those substances which do not dissolve in water and hydrophilic are those which easily become dissolve in water.
Hydrophillic
Its neither hydrophilic nor hydrophobic it is very toxic when it reacts with water
Hydrophobic molecules do not come in contact with water; they "fear" water (root word, phobic). Hydrophilic molecules, on the other hand, do come in contact with water; they "love" water (root word, philic). [hydro means water]
no, because on end is hydrophobic while the other is hydrophillic
No. Hydrophillic freely associates with water, readily entering into solution, and water loving. Fats, or lipids, are hydrophobic, which are incapable of freely associating water molecules, insoluble, and water-fearing.
Hydrophobic participles are "running" away from water. Try pouring some oil into a glass of water and you will see what I mean. Hydrophillic participles, on the other hand, attract water and soon a hydrophillic participle will be completely surrounded by water molecules, Which is a fancy way of saying that it'll dissolve.
The sequence of a bilayer consists of two layers of phospholipid molecules arranged with their hydrophobic tails facing each other and their hydrophilic heads facing outward towards the aqueous environment. This structure helps create a barrier that separates the inside and outside of the cell or organelle.
Oil is hydrophobic because its chemical formula doesn't allow it to dissolve in water. In other words, it's "water hating".
A substance that attracts water molecules is hydrophillic, hydro meaning water and phillic meaning attracted to. The opposite would be hydrophobic, hydro meaning water and phobic meaning scared of.
Propanol is both hydrophilic and hydrophobic. The hydroxyl group in propanol makes it hydrophilic, allowing it to form hydrogen bonds with water. However, the non-polar hydrocarbon chain in propanol makes it hydrophobic, meaning it can interact with non-polar solvents.
Molecules that make up lipid bi layers are classified as amphipathic, meaning they have both hydrophobic and hydrophillic properties.
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
