**One of the Ingredients in the Pfizer-BioNTech (mRNA) Vaccine**The diagram shows the molecular structure of an ingredient used in the Pfizer-BioNTech mRNA vaccine. This chemical structure consists of various atoms:- **Oxygen (O)**: Represented by the "O" letters in the diagram.- **Nitrogen (N)**: Indicated by the "N" letter.- **Hydrogen (H)** and **Carbon (C)**: Typically represented by the lines connecting the atoms; hydrogen is often implied rather than explicitly shown.The structure features carbon chains and functional groups such as hydroxyl (OH) and amide groups. These chemical components are integral to the formation of lipids, which play a crucial role in stabilizing and delivering the mRNA within the vaccine. The lipids form nanoparticles that encase the mRNA, facilitating its entry into human cells where it instructs the cells to produce the viral protein needed for immune response activation. **Question c:** How many asymmetric carbons are in the structure?
