Chapter 18, Problem 1CE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The physical property which distinguishes a lipid from a protein, carbohydrate, and nucleic acid is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Lipids are the organic compounds, which are fatty acids or the derivatives of fatty acids. They are insoluble in water but are soluble in non-polar organic solvents. Membranes are made up of lipids.

Answer to Problem 1CE

The physical property which distinguishes a lipid from a protein, carbohydrate, and nucleic acid is solubility.

Explanation of Solution

On the basis of solubility, a lipid can be distinguished from a protein, carbohydrate, and nucleic acid. The compounds, protein, carbohydrate and nucleic acid are soluble in water, whereas, lipids are not soluble in water.

Conclusion

Solubility is that physical property on the basis of which distinguishes a lipid from a protein, carbohydrate, and nucleic acid.

Choosing reagents and conditions for acetal formation or hydrolysis 0/5 A student proposes the transformation below in one step of an organic synthesis. There may be one or more products missing from the right-hand side, but there are no reagents missing from the left-hand side. There may also be catalysts, small inorganic reagents, and other important reaction conditions missing from the arrow. • Is the student's transformation possible? If not, check the box under the drawing area. If the student's transformation is possible, then complete the reaction by adding any missing products to the right-hand side, and adding required catalysts, inorganic reagents, or other important reaction conditions above and below the arrow. • You do not need to balance the reaction, but be sure every important organic reactant or product is shown. + This transformation can't be done in one step. 5 I H Autumn alo 值 Ar B
