Question

Hydrophilic molecules tend to be ________ to water. Attracted mixed repelled absorbed

Answer 1

The hydrophilic molecules are those molecules, which tend to get mixed in water, they are water loving. These molecules are generally polar.  

The water molecules are polar and tend to dissolve the polar solutes in it. When a polar molecule gets in contact with the water, it is attracted and gets mixed into it. Non polar molecules are hydrophobic and do not get mixed into water.  

So, the correct answer is mixed.
