Tryptophan is considered a polar molecule due to the presence of its indole side chain, which contains a nitrogen atom that can participate in hydrogen bonding. The amino group (-NH2) and carboxyl group (-COOH) in its structure also contribute to its polar nature. These functional groups enhance tryptophan's solubility in water, distinguishing it from nonpolar molecules.
