== == 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)

Which part of phospholipd molecule is non polar and hydrophobic?

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.

A hypothetical microbullet shot through a phospholipid bilayer would pass the components in which order?

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.


What part of phospholipid molecule would reject the polar molecule glucose?

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.
