According to online services, Moiety is properly defined as having half ownership of something. For example, joint tenants are said to have Moiety of the property.
A nonpolypeptide moiety is a component in a protein molecule that is not made up of amino acids. These moieties can be prosthetic groups like heme in hemoglobin or cofactors like metal ions that help the protein function properly. Nonpolypeptide moieties are critical for the structure and activity of many proteins.
What is moiety? a half
"Let's split that turkey; you shall have a moiety and I too shall have half." I will have a moiety to show i am here to help out everyone get what they needed to come here to get.
Depending on the molecule, the "sugar" may change, but a moiety is like a subdivision of a functional group. In DNA we have nitrogenous base held by a sugar phosphate backbone. "Sugar moiety" refers to the deoxyribose sugar that is part of the DNA backbone.
Non polypeptide moiety refers to each part that a non polypeptide can be divided into. For example, maybe a benzene moiety.
The word moiety ( /ˈmɔɪəti/) is often used synonymously to "functional group," but, according to the IUPAC definition,[3] a moiety is a part of a molecule that may include either whole functional groups or parts of functional groups as substructures.(wikipedia)So basically, a hydrophilic moiety is just part of a molecule that is hydrophilic, the phospholipid heads on the inner and outer leaflets of the plasma membrane.

This is the chemical salt 'Ammonium sulphate'. It is usually written as ' (NH4)2SO4 The (NH4)2 moiety tells us that there are '2'(two) ammoniums present. Since ammonium is made up of NH4 , then there are two(2) nitrogen (N) present and there are eight(8 = 4 x 2) hydrogen(H) present. The SO4 moiety tells us that there is one(1) sulphur (S) and there are four(4) oxygen present. Unlike the ammonium moiety there is no doubling of the sulphate moiety. Ammonium sulphate is a agricultural fertiliser.
There are many kinds of polyester, some of which might contain acetate, but the most common kind does not, because most of the carbon atoms in it are part of aromatic rings and an acetate moiety does not usually contain an aromatic ring.
