In terms of biochemistry, hydrophobia is the repulsion shown by a molecule to water. Lipids such as glycerol are a classic example, which is not soluble in water and will float on the surface.
What else can I help you with?
The interior of the phospholipid bilayer is?
Hydrophobic.
Lipids contain what types of regions?
Hydrophobic (water repulsive) regions. Form emulsions when mixed with aqeous compounds (ie. classic oil & water example)
How would you define hydrophobic substance?
All substances that are water repelling are considered hydrophobic substances. Ex: Oil, Waxes, etc..
What is hydrophobic compound?
Oil is one of the best examples of substance that is hydrophobic which canÕt mix or dissolve with water. It is highly hydrophobic because the interaction in oil is more compact than other compounds.
Why do hydrophobic substances dissolve in water?
It depends on the physical properties of the substance. Sometimes heating a hydrophobic substance can increase solubility. Also, heating may cause the substance to denature and dissolve. In the case of proteins, proteins can contain many hydrophobic parts but still be soluble in water. However, hydrophobic substances do not typically dissolve in water, due to the polar nature of water. Typically, scientists use the word "hydrophobic" only to describe substances that have a negligible solubility in water. You may have meant to ask "why do hydrophilic substances dissolve in water".
What is a example of a hydrophobic material?
Wax
What are example of hydrophobic monomers?
Examples of hydrophobic monomers include alkyl acrylates (e.g. methyl acrylate), alkyl methacrylates (e.g. methyl methacrylate), and styrene. These monomers repel water due to the presence of hydrophobic groups in their structure, such as alkyl chains or aromatic rings.
Is cholesterol hydrophobic or hydrophobic?
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
Is vitamin A hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
hydrophobic
What is hydrophobic and how do you determine if a molecule is hydrophobic?
Hydrophobic describes molecules that are repelled by water. You can determine if a molecule is hydrophobic by looking at its structure - if it contains mostly nonpolar covalent bonds or hydrophobic functional groups (e.g. alkyl groups), it is likely to be hydrophobic. Additionally, hydrophobic molecules tend to aggregate together in water due to the hydrophobic effect.
The interior of the phospholipid bilayer is?
Hydrophobic.
How can one create hydrophobic water?
One can create hydrophobic water by adding a hydrophobic substance, such as a surfactant or a hydrophobic coating, to the water. This substance will repel water molecules, causing the water to exhibit hydrophobic properties.
What is characteristics of hydrophobic solution?
The meaning of hydrophobic is which rejects water, which cannot be wetted; solids are hydrophobic not liquids.
Is phosphatidylethanolamine hydrophobic?
yes it is!!! it has an hydrophobic permeability barrier predominantly in phospholipids
Is cysteine considered hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
Cysteine is considered hydrophobic.
Is hydrophobic a lipid?
No. Hydrophobic is a concept or symptom, not a substance as lipids are.
Is the molecule nonpolar and hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
The molecule is nonpolar and hydrophobic.
