ANSWER:-

The polar group consist of 10 amino acids, two are negatively charged - aspartic acid and glutamic acid, 3 have a positive charge - arginine, lysine and histidine, and 5 are uncharged - asparagine, glutamine, serine, threonine and tyrosine.

Hydrophobic amino acids have little or no polarity in their side chains. The lack of polarity means they have no way to interact with highly polar water molecules, making them water fearing.
