Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The fatty acids used to form below triacylglycerol have to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Triacylglycerols are lipids that are formed by two or more similar or different fatty acids. They are also called triglycerides and are hydrophobic and nonpolar in nature. Addition of glycerol and three similar or different fatty acids results into triesters that is triacylglycerols. The general reaction for the synthesis of triacylglycerol is as follows:
(b)
Interpretation:
Whether the below triacylglycerol is solid at room temperature or not has to be identified.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(c)
Interpretation:
Hydrophobic region of below triacylglycerol has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(d)
Interpretation:
Hydrophilic region of below triacylglycerol has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
(e)
Interpretation:
Product of hydrolysis of below triacylglycerol by aqueous sulfuric acid has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).
