What types of molecules are insoluble in water?
Hydrophobic molecules are insoluble in water. These include oils and grease.
What molecules are permeable to the cell membrane?
Hydrophobic molecules are permeable to the cell membrane. Anything that is samll and hydrophobic will pass easily. Larger, hydrophilic molecules require a transport protein to allow permeability.
Is sugar hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
Hydrophilic molecules are those that dissolve in or interact with water. Hydrophilic molecules include carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, salts and metabolic molecules like glucose and amino acids. The fatty component of lipids [fats and oils], the -CH2- tail, is strictly hydrophobic.
The hydrophobic cleft in globular proteins which bind substrate molecules is called?
active site
Why do amphipathic molecules form micelles in water?
Amphipathic molecules are by definition those that contain both hydrophobic (water hating) and hydrophilic (water loving) regions. The area of the molecule that likes water tends to stay in the aqueous region whereas the region of the molecules that hates water tends to cluster with other hydrophobic regions. This untimately results in the hydrophobic regions packing together and forming a region that is impervious to water molecules. Such a structure is called a micelle
What types of molecules are insoluble in water?
Hydrophobic molecules are insoluble in water. These include oils and grease.
What types of molecules get through the membreane with passive transport?
Ions, glucose, and amino acids
What kind of molecules are water fearing?
hydrophobic.
What do hydrophobic molecules avoid?
Hydrophobic molecules avoid water. Strictly speaking, they do not attract water, and therefore water will avoid them, since it is more attracted to other molecules or to itself.
Are lipids hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
Lipids are hydrophobic. This quality means that they repel water rather than draw it in.
Molecules that avoid water are called?
Hydrophobic.
What hydrophobic molecules are surrounded by bile?
Micelle
What do hydrophobic regions of molecules feel?
greasy
What are hydrophobic interactions are exhibited with?
nonpolar molecules
What is the difference of hydrophobic molecules from hydrophilic molecules?

Small nonpolar hydrophobic molecules such as fatty acids?
Small, nonpolarn hydrophobic molecules such as fatty acids easily pass through a membrane's lipid bilayer.
What molecules are permeable to the cell membrane?
Hydrophobic molecules are permeable to the cell membrane. Anything that is samll and hydrophobic will pass easily. Larger, hydrophilic molecules require a transport protein to allow permeability.
