An amphiprotic molecule (or ion) can either donate or accept a proton, thus acting either as an acid or a base. Water, amino acids, hydrogencarbonate ion (or bicarbonate ion) HCO − 3, dihydrogen phosphate ion H 2 PO − 4, and hydrogensulfate ion (or bisulfate ion) HSO − 4 are common examples of amphiprotic species. Since they can donate a ...

A species that can either accept or donate a proton is referred to as amphiprotic. An example is the H 2 O (water) molecule, which can gain a proton to form the hydronium ion, H 3 O +, or lose a proton, leaving the hydroxide ion, OH −. The relative ability of a molecule to give up a proton is measured by its pK a value.
The lipid bilayer, the material that makes up cell membranes. Phospholipids, a class of amphiphilic molecules, are the main components of biological membranes.The amphiphilic nature of these molecules defines the way in which they form membranes.
Polyampholytes are polymers that contain both positively charged (cationic) and negatively charged (anionic) functional groups within the same molecule. Their unique structure allows them to exhibit amphoteric behavior, meaning they can interact with a range of substances depending on the surrounding pH, making them useful in applications like drug delivery, water treatment, and biomaterials.
The bicarbonate ion carries a negative one formal charge and is an amphiprotic species which has both acidic and basic properties. It is both the conjugate base of carbonic acid H 2 CO 3; and the conjugate acid of CO 2− 3, the carbonate ion, as shown by these equilibrium reactions: CO 2− 3 + 2 H 2 O ⇌ HCO −
Nutrition studies focus on antinutrients commonly found in food sources and beverages. Antinutrients may take the form of drugs, chemicals that naturally occur in food sources, proteins, or overconsumption of nutrients themselves. Antinutrients may act by binding to vitamins and minerals, preventing their uptake, or inhibiting enzymes.
