Molecules Having a Lipophilic Part Spatially Separated from a Hydrophilic

Question

Molecules having a lipophilic part spatially separated from a hydrophilic part are called
A) Ambivalent
B) Amphipathic
C) Zwitterionic
D) Integral
E) Peripheral

Accepted Answer

Amphipathic molecules have both a lipophilic (hydrophobic) part and a hydrophilic part, making them capable of interacting with both lipids and water, which is essential for the formation of biological membranes and micelles.
