Hydroxyl -OH is Hydrophilic (attracts water). This is due to the electronegativity of the oxygen atom in -OH which makes the functional group polar. This polarity attracts the also polar H2O molecule creating a hydrophilic effect.
Yes!
Glucose in its all forms (pyranose/furanose/open chain) is hydrophilic, as in all forms glucose molecule's exterior has hydroxyl groups. Hydroxyl groups having sufficient polarity, hence may involve in extensive hydrogen bonding, that is the key reason for hydrophilicity of glucose.
Quite hydrophilic. It mixes easily with water and even "sucks up" moisture from the air.
Hydrophilic as they contain hydrophilic hydroxyl groups which are attached to the carbon atoms.
hydrophilic
It's hydrophilic, due to the hydroxyl functional group in the R group. Though the R group also contains a hydrocarbon group, the hydroxyl group is outermost and thus determines serine's interactions with its environment.
Yes. Sugars contain many polar hydroxyl groups, so they tend to be quite hydrophilic.
hydrophobic is water hating and hydrophilic is water loving ( attracts water).
Yes, hydrophilic phosphate heads and hydrophobic modified carbohydrate tails.
The tails of lipids are hydrophobic and the heads are hydrophilic hope this helped=) The tails of lipids are hydrophobic and the heads are hydrophilic hope this helped=)
hydrophilic b/c carbohydrates are made of sugars; sugars (such as glucose) have LOTS of hydroxyl groups which are hydrophilic, therefore carbohydrates are hydrophilic

Starches can be both hydrophobic and hydrophilic, although most of them are hydrophilic.
hydrophobic
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.

Dna has a hydrophilic and hydrophobic side, also you have to remember that DNA is a polar molecule
