Question

Which of the following statements is/are true about an amphipathic molecule? (Choose all that apply.)

Answer 1

An amphipathic molecule is a molecule that contains both polar and nonpolar regions, thereby having hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties. Phospholipids are examples of amphipathic molecules.

• In consequence, in an amphipathic molecule:

           C. Part of the molecule is hydrophobic (water-repelling).

           D. Part of the molecule is hydrophilic (water-loving).

• For example, phospholipids are amphipathic molecules because their phosphate heads interact with water molecules and fatty acids do not interact with water.

• In phospholipids, phosphate heads interact with water molecules due to because of their charge.
