Verified step by step guidance

Understand the definition of amphipathic molecules: Amphipathic molecules have both hydrophobic (water-repelling) and hydrophilic (water-attracting) properties.

Identify the characteristics of hydrophobic groups: These are typically non-polar and do not interact well with water, often found in the interior of biological membranes.

Identify the characteristics of hydrophilic groups: These are polar and can form hydrogen bonds with water, allowing them to interact well with aqueous environments.

Analyze the options given: We need to find the option that describes a molecule with both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties.

Select the correct option: The correct answer is the one that states the molecule contains non-polar (hydrophobic) and hydrophilic (polar) groups, which allows it to interact with both lipids and water.
