OH (the hydroxide ion, or alcohol functional group) is strongly polar, and is thus very hydrophilic.
Soap is both hydrophobic and hydrophilic. It has a hydrophobic tail that repels water and a hydrophilic head that attracts water, allowing it to interact with both water and oils.
Cysteine is considered hydrophobic.
it is the opposite. Hydrophobic is water hating, hydrophilic is water loving. ie, hydrophobic substances avoid water, hydrophilic are attracted
Sucrose is hydrophilic, meaning it has an affinity for water and can easily dissolve in it. This is because sucrose is a polar molecule, with hydroxyl groups that interact with water molecules through hydrogen bonding.
Acids and bases can vary in their hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity depending on their specific chemical structure. In general, some acids can be hydrophobic, such as fatty acids, while others can be hydrophilic, like strong mineral acids. Bases can also exhibit a range of hydrophilic or hydrophobic properties based on their structure, with some being more hydrophobic and others more hydrophilic.
Starches can be both hydrophobic and hydrophilic, although most of them are hydrophilic.

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.
Soap is both hydrophobic and hydrophilic. It has a hydrophobic tail that repels water and a hydrophilic head that attracts water, allowing it to interact with both water and oils.
Hydrophilic
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
The molecule is nonpolar and hydrophobic.
Cysteine is considered hydrophobic.
A phospholipid has both hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) parts, making it amphipathic.
