- Why does rabies cause hydrophobia? - Biology Stack Exchange
What feature of rabies pathophysiology causes hydrophobia? Why is hydrophobia unique to this one particular type of viral infection?
- Hydrophobia Outside of Rabies? - Biology Stack Exchange
Hydrophobia is mostly attributed to rabies, most of the sources refer rabies as hydrophobia Technically Hydrophobia is the intense fear of water
- Is there a difference between polarity and hydrophobicity?
Hydrophobicity means aversion to water which results because of increase in entropy of the system due to the water-"solute" interaction As already pointed out in by inf3rno, polarity of a molecule is because of its net dipole moment It is true that polar molecules can dissolve in water (because they can interact with water via van der Waals' forces especially Keesom and Debye forces) CO 2
- human biology - Agony, Hydrophobia and viruses in the light of . . .
The hydrophobia symptom is most likely a bi-product of the effects the virus has on the brain and not an evolutionarily derived strategy to create an appropriate environment to reproduce in
- biochemistry - Why dont the heads of phospholipid bilayers repel . . .
Your question is rooted in a misundertsanding of the hydrophobic effect Hydrophillic and hydrophobic molecules do not repel but, rather, attract one another through van der Waals interactions The tendency of hydrophobic molecules to aggregate in aqueous solution (ie the hydrophobic effect) is, instead of some repulsive force, actually driven entropically I don’t think I will go into this
- genetics - Why are nitrogenous bases of DNA hydrophobic if they can . . .
Why are nitrogenous bases of DNA hydrophobic if they can hydrogen bond? Is it that they are only relatively hydrophobic? This forum explains it but does not give an example of the structure
- What causes leaves to be hydrophobic? - Biology Stack Exchange
This is due to presence of a hydrophobic chemical called as cutin present at the the aerial surfaces of plants Cutin is one of two waxy polymers that are the main components of the plant cuticle, which covers all aerial surfaces of plants The other major cuticle polymer is cutan, which is much more readily preserved in the fossil record, [1] Cutin consists of omega hydroxy acids and their
- Why dont phospholipid bilayers dissolve? - Biology Stack Exchange
We should first understand what happens when a substance dissolves During dissolution water interacts with the solute molecule; if the strength of interaction between the molecule and water is higher than the strength of interaction among the solute molecules then the solute dissolves (Also have a look at this post) Phospholipid is an amphipathic molecule — it has both hydrophobic and
