What else can I help you with?
What is the Hydrophilic end?
The terminal hydroxyl group of a steroid is hydrophilic.
What is the head of a phospholipid?
Phosphate containing part that is soluble in water (hydrophilic).
Where is the hydrophilic portion of membrane?
The hydrophilic portion of a membrane is located on the outer surfaces, facing the aqueous environments on both sides of the membrane. This hydrophilic region interacts with water molecules due to its affinity for water and helps to stabilize the structure of the membrane.
Is hydrogen hydrophobic?
Alcohol is hydrophobic. This is because one part of alcohol is non polar. The other part of alcohol is hydrophilic.
What is the phospholipid upper left part of the transparency?
The upper left part of the phospholipid bilayer, also known as the hydrophilic head, consists of a phosphate group that is attracted to water molecules. This hydrophilic region faces outward and interacts with the surrounding aqueous environment.
What is the Hydrophilic end?
The terminal hydroxyl group of a steroid is hydrophilic.
Is a steroid hydrophobic or hydrophilic or amphipathic?
Yes. However, more to the point is that steroid hormones are lipophilic.
Why do steroid hormones need a transport protein to circulate with blood?
Steroid hormones are "lipophilic" (they are fatty molecules which do not dissolve in water.) They would not normally dissolve very well in blood. Proteins are "hydrophilic" and do dissolve in water. Transport proteins bind to steroid hormones and allow dissolution in blood; they also serve to keep most of the hormone molecules inactive until needed.
Why hydrophilic proteins when placed in hydrophobic solvent their is denaturation of the proteins?
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.
What is the head of a phospholipid?
Phosphate containing part that is soluble in water (hydrophilic).
What steroid makes up part of the cell membranes?
Cholesterol
Is doxycycline hydrocholride part of the steroid family?
No. It's an antibiotic
Is hydrocortisone and example of corticosteroids?
Not with out the STEROID part. which is a hormone.
What is the head of the phospholipid molecules?
Phosphate containing part that is soluble in water (hydrophilic).
Is doxycycline hydrochloride part of the steroid family?
doxycycline is an antibiotic, not a steriod.
What is the function of a hydrophilic?
In emulsifiers the hydrophilic part of the molecule aka the head will be in the water whilst the hydrophobic tail remains in the oil particles. This is useful for cleaning agents. Hope this is helpful.
Where is the hydrophilic portion of membrane?
The hydrophilic portion of a membrane is located on the outer surfaces, facing the aqueous environments on both sides of the membrane. This hydrophilic region interacts with water molecules due to its affinity for water and helps to stabilize the structure of the membrane.
