Here is still another lipid-related question. a. Draw the structure of a soap molecule, derived from a myristic acid triglyceride. No sticks. You CAN bunch the CH2 groups together. b. Write the COMPLETE AND BALANCED reaction for your soap reacting with hard water containing Fe*. NO STICKS! c. Describe what you would see if you used a detergent (rather than a soap) in the presence of Fe*. The more detail you give, the more points you will earn. No reactions are needed here.

The twisted proteins store elastic potential energy as it twists or untwists from its equilibrium state. The energy function for this system is shown in the figure where the energy is given in multiples of kBT which is a unit of energy used by biochemists when working at the molecular level. (1.0 kBT = 4.11×10−21 J). Figure 6 shows a horizontal line at an energy level of 136 kBT , which gives a total angular range of 2.095 radians. If the energy level of the ATP-synthase stalk is 100 kBT instead, between what angles is the stalk confined? Explain your reasoning.
