Cooking oil and gasoline (a hydrocarbon) are not amphipathic molecules because they ________. do not have a polar or charged region have hydrophobic and hydrophilic regions are highly reduced molecules do not have a nonpolar region

Answered by maham237 @



Cooking oil and gasoline do not have polar or charged regions hence they are termed hydrophobic molecules (these compounds do not mix with water). Amphipathic molecules are called as such because they have both polar or charged region and a non-polar or uncharged region.

A popular example is soap which has properties of a polar and a non-polar compound. Another example is the cell membrane which is composed of phospholipid bilayer, whereas the phospholipid component has a hydrophilic head and a hydrophobic tail which makes it amphipathic.
