Lyophobic means a water-repelling molecule. At the same time, sols are the heterogeneous system of colloids which includes solid as the dispersed phase and a liquid as the dispersion medium. The lyophobic sols are a crucial part of surface chemistry. Along with lyophilic, lyophobic is one of two major categories of colloids. You will learn […]

Lyophobic is a type of colloid and  a heterogeneous mixture. It is a stable solution. Lyophobic is a solvent repelling solution. Lyophobic is an important topic in Chemistry. Colloids have various kinds based on the state and interaction between the dispersed medium and the dispersion phase. In this article, we will discuss the concept of

The term “lyophilic” refers to a colloidal mixture made up of a colloid that is strongly attracted to the liquid in which it is dispersed. Colloids are a combination of minute particles of one material equally scattered throughout another. “Lyo” refers to a solvent, while “philic” refers to a powerful affinity. The colloidal particles and

The human body is made up of about 30 trillion cells that collectively perform the essential functions of life. Cells can perform these important tasks with the help of certain organic molecules present in them. These organic molecules are called biomolecules. Biomolecules come in a wide variety of sizes and structures, and they participate in

Introduction Amino acids are organic compounds and form the building components for the living system necessary for the growth and development of human beings. About 300 amino acids occur in nature. The key elements of amino acids consist of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O) and nitrogen (N). Sulfur (S) is also present in the

A number of naturally occurring proteins have specific characteristics with respect to amino acid sequence and composition that give a unique 3-D shape to protein. Proteins are chains of long amino acids and have high molecular mass. Like carbohydrates and lipids, proteins cannot be categorized on the basis of similar structures.  Proteins have primary, secondary,

Protein denaturation is one of the phenomena that can cause a protein’s stability and structure to be disrupted, and it is one of the most common. Historically, the chemistry of proteins has been important because proteins are abundant in the living system, and thus their chemistry has always been important. Protein is required for the

Definition & Classification of Biomolecules Living organisms are actively involved in growth, reproduction, and sustenance itself. Every living organism comprises both atoms and molecules. Living organisms are made from different biomolecules, which can further be subdivided into carbohydrates, protein, lipids, and nucleic acids. The biomolecules interact and contribute to molecular life processes. In other words,

Biomolecules are the basic building blocks of living organisms. They support various biological processes required for life. Biomolecules, primarily made of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen, vary in size and structure. Biomolecules are considered highly efficient machines or building materials. However, few of these biological molecules can even repair and replicate themselves. Every biomolecule has its own

Introduction Egg whites include huge amounts of proteins known as albumins, and albumins typically have a distinct three-dimensional shape as a result of the formation of links between different amino acids in the protein. As a result of the heating, these connections are broken, exposing hydrophobic (water-hating) amino acids that were previously hidden on the
