question
match the term with its definition: hydrophilic.
answer

• water-fearing
• a protein that is not embedded in the lipid bilayer
• water-loving
• a protein that is firmly inserted into the lipid bilayer
• i dont know yet

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the definition of "Hydrophilic". The prefix "hydro-" relates to water, and "philic" comes from the Greek for "loving". So "Hydrophilic" means water - loving. The option "Water - fearing" is for "Hydrophobic", and the other options relate to membrane proteins, not the term "Hydrophilic".

Answer:

C. Water - loving
