Cell physiology: Discuss the importance of hydrophobic and hydrophylic interactions on the organization of living cells and organisms.

Solution

Hydrophobic interaction have a profound effect on living cells. for example they are primarly responsible for the structure of the membrane which is protecting the cell and perform the selective permeabilty. they are also playing a important role in stability of a protein.

Hydrophilic interaction forms head of the phospholipid bilayer and interact with the intracellular (cytosolic) and extracellular faces of the resulting bilayer.
