Question

All are true about hydrophobic interactions EXCEPT:
a. Hydrophobic interactions result from the strong tendency of water to exclude nonpolar groups or molecules.
b. Hydrophobic interactions result because water molecules prefer the stronger interactions that they share with one another, compared to their interactions with nonpolar molecules.
c. Hydrophobic interactions result from hydrogen bonds between water and the hydrophobic molecules.
d. The preferential interactions between water molecules "exclude" hydrophobic substances from aqueous solution and drive the tendency of nonpolar molecules to cluster together.
e. Hydrophobic interactions result in nonpolar regions of biological molecules being buried in the molecule's interior to exclude them from the aqueous milieu.
