The amphipathic molecule and how does an amphipathic molecule behave in water. Introduction: An amphipathic molecule is having a polar end (water soluble) and a non-polar (water insoluble) end. The hydrophobic region will stay away from the water molecules, and the hydrophilic part of the molecule will move to the water molecule.
