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.
