Question 123

Multiple Choice

Because of hydrogen bonding, water is uniquely suited for its central role in life. Many hydrophilic molecules interact freely with water, but a number of hydrophobic molecules are important for life, too. How does the interaction between water and hydrophobic molecules help to organize biological systems?


A) Because cells are not pure water (they have many substances dissolved within them) , the hydrophilic/hydrophobic effect has a limited role in biological organization.
B) The ionic bonds between water molecules cause hydrophobic molecules to associate with each other and not with water molecules.
C) Because water molecules preferentially associate with each other, they force hydrophobic molecules to associate with each other and not with water molecules.
D) None of the other answer options is correct.
