Question

multiple choice question
the word that describes phospholipids partially water - soluble characteristics is

hydrophobic
amphiphilic
hydrophilic

Explanation:

Phospholipids have a hydrophilic (water - loving) head and hydrophobic (water - fearing) tails. This dual nature makes them amphiphilic, which means they have both water - loving and water - fearing parts and are partially water - soluble due to the hydrophilic head. Hydrophobic means repelling water and hydrophilic means attracting water, but neither fully describes the dual nature of phospholipids.

Answer:

B. amphiphilic
