What property of detergent makes it useful to wash grease off of 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. :)
What are some examples of an amphipatic molecule?
Amphipathic means a molecule containing both polar (water-soluble) and non-polar (not water-soluble) portions or having hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions in its structure. Examples include phospholipids, glycolipids, steroids, etc.
Is DNA hydrophilic molecule?
Dna has a hydrophilic and hydrophobic side, also you have to remember that DNA is a polar molecule
Is sodium oleate amphipathic?
Sodium oleate is an amphipathic compound.
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.
Are fats amphipathic?
Yes. The glycerol head is polar while the fatty acids are nonpolar. Thus, fat is indeed amphipathic.
Is glucose an amphipathic?
I don't think that glucose has both hydrophyllic and hydrophobic ends though it is soluble. Think phospholipid for an amphipathic molecule.
In order for a protein to be an integral membrane protein it would have to be what?
the whole protein must be amphipathic but the surface itself must be hydrophobic.
In order for a protein to be an integral protein it would have to be what?

What is the primary property that enables phospholipid molecules to organize into bilayers?
amphipathic molecules
What is an amphipol?
An amphipol is any of a range of amphipathic polymers used as speciality surfactants.
Is peripheral protein amphipathic?
No, Predominately located in cystosolic surface of the plasma membrane.
