MCQ
Amphiphilic molecules are normally associated with
  • A
    Isoprene based polymers
  • Soaps and detergents
  • C
    Nitrogen based fertilizers e.g. urea
  • D
    Pain relieving medicines such as aspirin

Answer

Correct option: B.
Soaps and detergents
b
An Amphiphile is a friend chemical compound possessing both hydrophilic and lipophilic properties. such a compound is called amphiphilic or amphipathic. This forms the basis for a number of areas of research in chemistry and biochemistry, notably that of lipid polymorphism. Organic compounds containing hydrophilic groups at both ends of a prolate molecule are called bolaamphiphilic. common amphiphilic subst detergents and lipoproteins.
