Answer to Problem 19.48P
Explanation of Solution
Triacylglycerol are most abundant lipids which are mainly found in animal fat and vegetable oils. They are triesters of glycerol, therefore in the formation of one molecule of triacylglycerol, three molecules of fatty acids react with one molecule of glycerol as given below:
Chemical formula of Lauric acid=
Chemical formula of Palmitic acid=
Hence the triacylglycerol formed by these three fatty acids must be:
(b)
Interpretation:
The structure of unsaturated triacylglycerol formed by fatty acid with three molecules of linoleic acid should be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Lipids are biomolecules that are involved in different biochemical reactions. They are special types of organic molecules that can only identify with the help of their physical properties, not by the presence of any certain functional group. In general, lipids contain a large number of C-C and C-H bonds with few polar functional groups such as −OH, -SH, etc; such as triacylglycerol consists of three ester groups whereas Vitamin E is composed of both ether and phenolic groups.

Interpretation:
The structure of trans-triacylglycerol formed by fatty acid with two trans-double bonds should be drawn.

(d)
Interpretation:
An unsaturated triacylglycerol formed from linolenic acid should be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Triacylglycerols are esters that are formed by reacting to three molecules of fatty acids with one molecule of glycerol. If all the three fatty acids are identical it is called a simple triacylglycerol and if there are two or more different fatty acids, it is called a mixed triacylglycerol. Depending on whether the fatty acids involved are saturated or unsaturated, there are two types of triacylglycerols.

Answer to Problem 19.48P
Explanation of Solution
When forming a triacylglycerol, each O atom of glycerol is bonded to the carbonyl carbon in fatty acids leaving the water as the by-product. Linolenic is an 18 carbon polyunsaturated fatty acid with three double bonds.
