Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Skeleton structure of DHA fatty acid has to be drawn:
Concept Introduction:
Fatty acid is an important component of lipid that consists of a carboxyl group (−COOH) with long straight chain of carbon and hydrogen atoms. Long straight-chain can be saturated as well as unsaturated.
Fatty acid consists of hydrophobic and hydrophilic parts. The nonpolar part of the chain that consists of carbon and hydrogen atoms and is water repellant called hydrophobic part and the polar part that is attracted to water is called hydrophilic part. The hydrophobic part is larger than that of hydrophilic part.
(b)
Interpretation:
The omega-n designation for DHA has to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
Refer to part (a).

- Please correct answer and don't use hand ratingarrow_forwardNonearrow_forwardYou have started a patient on a new drug. Each dose introduces 40 pg/mL of drug after redistribution and prior to elimination. This drug is administered at 24 h intervals and has a half life of 24 h. What will the concentration of drug be after each of the first six doses? Show your work a. What is the concentration after the fourth dose? in pg/mL b. What is the concentration after the fifth dose? in pg/mL c. What is the concentration after the sixth dose? in pg/mLarrow_forward
- McLafferty Rearrangement: Label alpha (), beta (), and gamma () on the molecule. Draw mechanismarrows to describe the process of the rearrangement. What functional group is lost during the rearrangement? What new functional group is made from the ketone/aldehyde you started with?
