== == Fats, oils, lipids are hydrophobic. Another way to put it would be to clasify hydrophobic as (water hating). And hydrophilic (water loving).
If a substance is polar, it will dissolve, hydrophilic. (remember it as 'like dissolves like')
If a substance is non-polar it will not dissolve in solution, this would be hydrophobic . (add oil onto water, you will see it does not mix. The oil is separated, and will never dissolve)
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
yes it is!!! it has an hydrophobic permeability barrier predominantly in phospholipids
two layers of phospholipids called the lipid bilayer
glycerol + two fatty acids +phosphate group
The fatty acid tails of the phospholipid molecule would reject the polar molecule glucose, as the tails are nonpolar and hydrophobic in nature. Glucose is hydrophilic and would not be compatible with the hydrophobic environment created by the fatty acid tails.
This is called the hydrophobic 'side' of the phospholipid molecule

The hydrophobic portion of the phospholipid molecule is the fatty acid tails. These tails consist of long hydrocarbon chains that do not interact well with water molecules, making them nonpolar and hydrophobic.

The order in which a microbullet would pass through a phospholipid bilayer would be: hydrophobic fatty acid tails, hydrophilic phosphate heads, and then the second layer of hydrophobic fatty acid tails.
