Question
Chapter 26, Problem 26.27P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions of a phospholipid have to be identified.
Concept-Introduction:
Hydrophobic:
- Hydrophobic means repelling of water molecules. Hydrophobic molecules are insoluble in water and non-polar in nature.
- Due to its non-solvation, hydrophobic molecules aggregate in polar solvents like water.
- This aggregation of hydrophobic molecules leads to membrane formation, surfactant action, protein folding, and protein-protein recognition.
Hydrophilic:
Hydrophilic molecules tend to attract water molecules. These are water soluble and mostly polar in nature.
