Hydrophilic means water loving; hydrophobic means resistant to water.

Hydrophilic molecules get absorbed or dissolved in water, while hydrophobic molecules only dissolve in oil-based substances.

Hydrophilic molecules are polar and ionic; hydrophobic molecules are non-polar.

The hydrophobic tails face inward towards one another, and the hydrophilic heads face outwards.

Chemical structure of a phospholipid, showing the hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tails.

The unique structure of the cell membrane allows small substances (like oxygen or carbon dioxide) to easily pass through.

those characteristics are cellular organization, reproduction, metabolism, homeostasis, heredity, response to stimuli, growth and development, and adaptation through evolution. some things, such as a virus, demonstrate only a few of these characteristics and are, therefore, not alive
