Which macromolecules are hydrophobic?

Answer 1

Carbohydrates are compounds made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. contains monosaccharides (single sugar molecules). use it as main source or energy

Lipids are made up mostly from carbon and hydrogen atoms. some lipids are formed when a glycerol molecule combines with fatty acids.

Nucleic acids contain hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and phosphorus. they are polymers assembled from individual monomers called nucleotides. they store and transmit hereditary information. the 2 kinds are RNA and DNA

Proteins contain nitrogen as well as carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. they are polymers of molecules called amino acids.Some proteins control the rate of reactions and regulate cell proccesses . some are used to form bones and muscles. others transport substances into or out of cells or help fight disease

Answer 2

Lipids; they are nonpolar molecules, therefore will not mix with water, a polar molecule. Think, "Like to Like".

Answer 3

carbohydrates, nucleic acids, proteins

NOT lipids

Answer 4

Mostly they are lipids. They contain a hydrophobic part

Answer 5

Lipids are hydrophobic. You can't mix oil and water.

Answer 6

all nonpolar molecules such as oil
