(a)

Interpretation Introduction

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 Introduction

Interpretation:

The omega-n designation for DHA has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Refer to part (a).
