Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The building blocks which represents the glycerol residues in the given block diagram of glycerophospholipid have to be predicted.
Concept introduction: The lipids based on glycerol are called glycerophospholipids. They are basically made up of two fatty acids, a phosphate group which is esterified to glycerol and an alcohol group which is esterified to the phosphate group.
There are four ester linkages present in glycerophospholipid. The alcohol esterified to the phosphate group is an amino alcohol. The amino alcohol can be choline, ethanolamine, or serine that belongs to phosphatidylcholines, phosphatidylethanolamines and phosphatidylserines, respectively.

- Laser. Indicate the relationship between metastable state and stimulated emission.arrow_forwardThe table includes macrostates characterized by 4 energy levels (&) that are equally spaced but with different degrees of occupation. a) Calculate the energy of all the macrostates (in joules). See if they all have the same energy and number of particles. b) Calculate the macrostate that is most likely to exist. For this macrostate, show that the population of the levels is consistent with the Boltzmann distribution. macrostate 1 macrostate 2 macrostate 3 ε/k (K) Populations Populations Populations 300 5 3 4 200 7 9 8 100 15 17 16 0 33 31 32 DATO: k = 1,38×10-23 J K-1arrow_forwardDon't used Ai solutionarrow_forward

- For the single step reaction: A + B → 2C + 25 kJ If the activation energy for this reaction is 35.8 kJ, sketch an energy vs. reaction coordinate diagram for this reaction. Be sure to label the following on your diagram: each of the axes, reactant compounds and product compounds, enthalpy of reaction, activation energy of the forward reaction with the correct value, activation energy of the backwards reaction with the correct value and the transition state. In the same sketch you drew, after the addition of a homogeneous catalyst, show how it would change the graph. Label any new line "catalyst" and label any new activation energy.arrow_forwardHow many grams of C are combined with 3.75 ✕ 1023 atoms of H in the compound C5H12?arrow_forwarde. f.
