Hydrophobic are due to? Water and oil being able to form emulsions when shaken because of the favorable negative DS Water molecules having cohesion forces so strong that they do not have any attraction for non-polar molecules Water molecules having stronger attraction forces with themselves than their attractions to nonpolar groups Very simply, nonpolar compounds "hate" water. That is in the definition
Madhur L.
The hydrogen bond between two water molecules arises because water is $a .$ polar. $b .$ nonpolar. $c .$ a liquid. $d .$ small. $e .$ hydrophobic.
Hydrophobic molecules can pass freely through the plasma membrane, but ions and polar molecules are impeded by the hydrophobic core. For this reason, plasma membranes can be considered: a) partially permeable. b) impermeable. c) hydrophobic. d) hydrophilic. e) None of these terms properly describe plasma membranes.
