A lipid has the following structure: CH2-O-CH2-(CH2)16CH3 0 CH-O-C-(CH2)4CH=CHCH2CH=CH(CH2)7CH3 0 || CH2-O-C-(CH2)4CH=CHCH2CH=CH(CH2)7CH3 Which of the statements are true or false about the structure above Both this structure and a wax contain one or more carboxyl groups This lipid and a prostaglandin can both be hydrolyzed in acid to create fatty acids This lipid and a thromboxane can both be hydrolyzed in base to produce soaps Both this lipid and a terpene can be very hydrophobic molecules Based on its structural similarity to other lipids, this lipid most likely functions as a membrane component Both this structure and a wax contain one or more ester bonds This lipid and an arachidonic acid both contain glycerol and hydrocarbon chains Based on its structural similarity to other lipids, this lipid most likely functions as an energy storage molecule Both this lipid and a terpene can contain isoprene This lipid and a leukotriene are both polyunsaturated molecules Both this structure and typical triacylglycerol are saponifiable Both this structure and typical triacylglycerol contain a long chain alcohol They all contain an unbranched carbon chain They all contain unconjugated cis double bonds the proper designation for the unsaturated fatty acids in this lipid is 18:2 (46,9) Choose...

Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are the organic compounds that are obtained in foods and living matters in the shape of sugars, cellulose, and starch. The general formula of carbohydrates is Cn(H2O)2. The ratio of H and O present in carbohydrates is identical to water.
Starch
Starch is a polysaccharide carbohydrate that belongs to the category of polysaccharide carbohydrates.
Mutarotation
The rotation of a particular structure of the chiral compound because of the epimerization is called mutarotation. It is the repercussion of the ring chain tautomerism. In terms of glucose, this can be defined as the modification in the equilibrium of the α- and β- glucose anomers upon its dissolution in the solvent water. This process is usually seen in the chemistry of carbohydrates.
L Sugar
A chemical compound that is represented with a molecular formula C6H12O6 is called L-(-) sugar. At the carbon’s 5th position, the hydroxyl group is placed to the compound’s left and therefore the sugar is represented as L(-)-sugar. It is capable of rotating the polarized light’s plane in the direction anticlockwise. L isomers are one of the 2 isomers formed by the configurational stereochemistry of the carbohydrates.
