hydrophilic - loves water hydrophobic - repels water
Glycerol is highly soluble in water due to its hydrophilic nature, while triglycerides are insoluble in water due to their hydrophobic fatty acid tails. Triglycerides are more soluble in non-polar solvents like oils and fats.
Hydrophobic molecules repel water and are nonpolar, while hydrophilic molecules attract water and are polar. Hydrophilic coatings are commonly used to make surfaces wettable by water, allowing for better adhesion or compatibility with aqueous solutions.
This depends on type of fiber.
Phospholipids and glycolipids are more soluble in water compared to triglycerides due to the presence of a hydrophilic head group, which interacts favorably with water molecules. Triglycerides, being composed mostly of hydrophobic fatty acid chains, are less soluble in water.
Starches can be both hydrophobic and hydrophilic, although most of them are hydrophilic.

Hydrophilic
Hydrophilic molecules are repulsed by surrounding hydrophobic solvent. Hydrophilic tends to connect with hydrophilic, and hydrophobic with hydrophobic. If the protein as a part which is hydrophobic, then it will twist itself to accommodate those new connections, and when they change their form, they denature.
No. Because the polar hydroxyls of glycerol and the polar carboxylates of the fatty acids are bound in ester linkages, triglycerides are nonpolar, hydrophobic molecules, that are essentially insoluble in water.
Soap is both hydrophobic and hydrophilic. It has a hydrophobic tail that repels water and a hydrophilic head that attracts water, allowing it to interact with both water and oils.
Hydrophilic
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
The molecule is nonpolar and hydrophobic.
Cysteine is considered hydrophobic.
A phospholipid has both hydrophilic (water-attracting) and hydrophobic (water-repelling) parts, making it amphipathic.
