Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Example of unsaturated fatty acid with one
Concept Introduction:
Fatty acid leads to formation of lipids and consists of a carboxyl group with long straight chain of carbon and hydrogen atoms. Long straight-chain can be saturated as well as unsaturated.
(b)
Interpretation:
Example of wax with 30 carbons has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Waxes are the type of nonpolar lipids that contain esters and are formed by the reaction of
(c)
Interpretation:
Example of saturated triacylglycerol has 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.
