Fatty Acids: 1. Draw the structure of a phosphatidylinositol with two different monounsaturated tails. a. Give the lipid numbers for each tail.b. What is the net charge of this phospholipid? 2. Draw a sphingolipid with neutral net charge and a 16:2, w-3, w-5 tail// 3. Which of the above two lipids would exhibit a higher Tm? Justify your answer. 4. Under which of the following conditions would FRAP recovery time be the fastest? Explain your answers. -Cell with a membrane predominantly composed of saturated fatty acids below the Tm vs membrane with monounsaturated fatty acids. -Membrane includes cholesterol vs membrane lacking cholesterol.-Membrane below the Tm vs Above the Tm-Membrane consisting of 16:1 fatty acid tails integrated into sphingolipids vs glycerophospholipids
