Lipids behaviour in water, animation. Lipids are amphipathic molecules, that is, they contain both hydrophilic (water-loving) and hydrophobic (water-hating) regions. This animation shows how, in water, lipid molecules (yellow) group together to form a lipid bilayer. The hydrophobic fatty acid chains of the lipids are hidden inside the bilayer, whilst the hydrophilic head groups lie in contact with the water molecules (red and blue). | |
