Is Creatine Nitrogenous and Hydrophilic?

AI Thread Summary
Creatine has the chemical formula C4H9N3O2, which includes nitrogen, making it nitrogenous. The term "nitrogenous" implies that nitrogen is a central component of the molecule. There is a question of whether creatine is also hydrophilic, which refers to its affinity for water. A hypothetical formula, N2H3O7, raises the question of whether its properties would be described as hydrogenic and oxyphilic if hydrogen were considered the nucleus. Understanding these terms helps clarify the chemical characteristics of compounds.

What makes Creatine Nitrogenous? Its chemical formula is C4H9N3O2
Would it be accurate to assume its also Hydrophillic?
It it considered Nitrogenic because Nitrogen seems to be a nucleus its all bonded to?

Here is a hypothetical Chemical formula. N2H3O7
If Hydrogen was the "nucleus" it was all bonded to, does that make this chemical Hydrogenic and Oxyphillic?

What does "nitrogenous" mean?
 
I think it means that nitrogen is the element that everything else in the formula is bonded to basically the nucleus of the formula
 

Thread 'Prove that evolution is constant (Provide at least two arguments to support your position)'

I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
