An enzyme that likes water, due to the fact that the enzyme is a polar molecule. Much like the hydrophilic head of the phospholipid bylayer.

Are carbohydrates hydrophilic or hydrophobic and how do you test this?

Carbohydrates are hydrophilic, meaning they have an affinity for water. To test this, you can perform a simple solubility test: add the carbohydrate sample to water and observe if it dissolves. If it dissolves, it is hydrophilic; if it does not dissolve or forms a separate layer, it is likely hydrophobic.


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
