How does amphipathic molecules generate the lipid bilayer biomembranes?
Amphipathic molecules are molecules that contain a hydrophilic region (water-loving region) and a hydrophobic region (water-hating region). Therefore, phospholipids, which are amphipathic molecules that make up our cell membranes, form into bilayer bio-membranes naturally due to the hydrophobic forces of attraction between each phospholipid molecule and the water-hating nature of it forces the molecules to orientate themselves with their hydrophobic sections facing inward and their hydrophilic sections outward. I hope this helps! :)
Is sodium oleate amphipathic?
Sodium oleate is an amphipathic compound.
Example of amphipathic molecule?
An amphipathic molecule is a molecule that contains both polar and nonpolar regions. As the answer above said amphipathic molecules have two ends. A Hydrophilic end or a polar end, and a hydrophobic end or a non-polar end. Amphipathic molecules are extremely important in the human body. because they function as transporters of hydrophobic material in the hydrophilic environment of the body. A simple example is that lipids (fat) can not circulate the body along with blood unless it is bonded to an amphipathis molecule or else lipids will not be able to move in the vessels and will make obstructions.
Are fats amphipathic?
Yes. The glycerol head is polar while the fatty acids are nonpolar. Thus, fat is indeed amphipathic.
What does soap do to the polarity of a water molecule?
the soap contains amphipathic molecules which can interact with hydrophobic as well as hydrophillic solvents. the hydrophilic end will interact with the water molecules whereas hydrophobic ends will concentrate at a very small portion and as a result a micell formation takes place.
What is the primary property that enables phospholipid molecules to organize into bilayers?
amphipathic molecules
Is it true that amphipathic molecules are molecules that do not contain any hydrogen atom?
No, that is not true. They are molecules that have both hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts.

Gasoline and cooking oil are not amphipathic molecules why?
They do not have polar or charged regions.
What are membrane forming molecules classified as?
Molecules that make up lipid bi layers are classified as amphipathic, meaning they have both hydrophobic and hydrophillic properties.
Are phospholipids hydrophilic molecules?
Yes. They have a hydrophillic head and a hydrophobic tail.
Is sodium oleate amphipathic?
Sodium oleate is an amphipathic compound.
Why do amphipathic molecules form micelles in water?
Amphipathic molecules are by definition those that contain both hydrophobic (water hating) and hydrophilic (water loving) regions. The area of the molecule that likes water tends to stay in the aqueous region whereas the region of the molecules that hates water tends to cluster with other hydrophobic regions. This untimately results in the hydrophobic regions packing together and forming a region that is impervious to water molecules. Such a structure is called a micelle
Is a steroid hydrophobic or hydrophilic or amphipathic?
Yes. However, more to the point is that steroid hormones are lipophilic.

What property of dishwashing liquid (detergent) makes it useful to wash grease from pans?
Amphipathic nature.
Lipids are what kind of molecules because of its positive and negative poles?
AnswerLipids are considered amphipathic because they contain both hydrophilic (polar) and hydrophobic (nonpolar) components.yea...i second dat. :)
