Is acid and base hydrophobic or hydrophobic?
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.
Would you find hydrophillic or hydrophobic amino acids on the external surface of a protein a protein?
Hydrophilic amino acids would likely be found on the external surface of a protein as they interact with the aqueous environment surrounding the protein, while hydrophobic amino acids tend to be buried within the protein core away from water.
The fatty acids in the tail of a phospholipid molecule are what?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
Is hexapeptide hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
It depends on the specific amino acid sequence of the hexapeptide. Some hexapeptides may contain hydrophobic amino acids, making them hydrophobic. Others may contain hydrophilic amino acids, making them hydrophilic.
Is triglycerides hydrophilic or hydrophobic?
These molecules are highly hydrophobic because the long chains of fatty acids esterified to a glycerol molecule. They are the most important lipids in plasma membrane that form the so-called lipid bilayer. When the fatty acids present in triacylglycerols are saturated, they become a strong water repelent to the cell. When these fatty acids have one or more unsaturated bonds, they turn to be more akin or water tolerant. While the unsaturated bonds are more present in fatty acids, the more water tolerant they will be.
What is the study of chemicals reactons of living things called?
biochemistry
What can you recall about the arrangement of amino acids in proteins when they fold up?
The aminoi acids folding will have hydrophobic amino acids in the centere and hydrophillic will be out side reacting with water........so see wat are hydrophobic amino acids and hydrophilic amino acids

Is phosphatidylethanolamine hydrophobic?
yes it is!!! it has an hydrophobic permeability barrier predominantly in phospholipids
Is a hydrophobic amino acid?
nope acids are hydophilic.
Is amino acid a hydrophobic substance?
nope acids are hydophilic.
Are enzymes hydrophilic?
Enzymes, being proteins, are made of many amino acids of which some are hydrophobic. These hydrophobic amino acids tend to shun water and fold into the interior of the protein enzyme. Enzymes are in solution so the hydrophobic sections would be away from the solution on the inside and the hydrophillic amino acids would tend to be on the outside of the enzyme. So, is a limited sense, you could say enzymes are hydrophyllic
On a phospholipid which part is hydrophobic?
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
He fatty acids in the tail of a phospholipid molecule are?
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule
How do hydrophobic amino acids and hydrophilic amino acids cause proteind to have a specific shape?
Hydrophobic amino acids tend to cluster together in the interior of a protein to avoid contact with water, which helps to stabilize the protein's structure. Hydrophilic amino acids are found on the surface of the protein, interacting with water molecules to maintain solubility and functionality. This segregation of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acids contributes to the specific three-dimensional shape of the protein.
Would you find hydrophillic or hydrophobic amino acids on the external surface of a protein a protein?
Hydrophilic amino acids would likely be found on the external surface of a protein as they interact with the aqueous environment surrounding the protein, while hydrophobic amino acids tend to be buried within the protein core away from water.
