A molecule that has both polar and nonpolar regions is called ___________.
a. Hydrophobic
b. Hydrophilic
c. Amphipathic
d. Hydrated



Answer :

The correct answer here is C. A molecule that has both polar and nonpolar regions is called ampipathic. The polar end of the molecule is water-loving, or hydrophilic, and the nonpolar end of the molecule will be water-repelling, or hydrophobic. This means the molecules are able to connect both to other water molecules, and to molecules of other substances.
