What is a hydropathy plot, and why is it used? A.A hydropathy plot, is a graph showing the distribution of hydrophobic amino acids along the length of a peptide sequence and is used to predict the regions within a protein most likely to be post-translationally modified  with a lipid moiety. B.A hydropathy plot identifies the concentration of water in a cell and is used to predict the type of metabolic reactions performed by the cells. C.A hydropathy plot , is a graph showing the distribution of hydrophillic amino acids along the length of a peptide sequence and is used to predict the regions within a protein most likely to be glycosylated. D.A hydropathy plot, is a graph showing the distribution of hydrophobic amino acids over the length of a paptide sequence, which is used to predict the position of transmembrane domains within a protein.
