- What is the basis for deciding if a substance is a lipid?arrow_forwarddraw the structures of the products you would obtain by saponification of the following liquid with aqueous KOH. Picture includedarrow_forwardClassify the following lipid (choose all that apply).CHOOSE ALL THAT APPLY a. triglyceride b. polyunsaturated c. fatty acid d. trans alkene(s) e. cis alkene(s) f. monounsaturated g. wax ester h. steroid i. saturatedarrow_forward
- You’ve got two amino acids – glycine and alanine. How many and what dipeptides can be formed from them? Write their structures.arrow_forwardSuggest a simple chemical test that will differentiate between the following pairs of compounds. Write equations for the reactions involved. ▪ butanone and butanal ▪ glucose and butanal ▪ sucrose and lactosearrow_forward1. Abundant trans bonds make partially hydrogenated vegetable oil a very unhealthy food choice. Vegetable oil can also be hydrogenated until it becomes fully saturated with hydrogen atoms. Would the physical properties of the hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils differ? If so, how and why would the differences occur? Do you think that full hydrogenation makes vegetable oil more or less healthy to eat, or does it have no effect? 2. Lipoprotein particles are relatively large, spherical clumps of protein and lipid molecules (see Figure 3.18) that circulate in the blood of mammals. They are like suitcases that move cholesterol, fatty acid remnants, triglycerides, and phospholipids from one place to another in the body. Given what you know about the insolubility of lipids in water, which of the four kinds of lipids would you predict to be on the outside of a lipoprotein clump, bathed in the water-based fluid portion of blood? 3. In 1976, a team of chemists in the United Kingdom was…arrow_forward
- There are structural differences between saturated fatty acids, cis-unsaturated fatty acids, and trans-unsaturated fatty acids. • Why have some cities banned the use of trans-unsaturated fatty acids at restaurants? Trans-unsaturated fatty acids stack like unsaturated fatty acids and cost more energy to metabolize, making it substantially more dangerous to consume. Trans-unsaturated fatty acids stack like saturated fatty acids and cost more energy to metabolize, making it substantially more dangerous to consume. Trans-unsaturated fatty acids stack like saturated fatty acids and cost less energy to metabolize, making it substantially more dangerous to consume. None of the other answers are correct. O Trans-unsaturated fatty acids stack like unsaturated fatty acids and cost less energy to metabolize, making it substantially more dangerous to consume.arrow_forwardIn an esterification reaction, a carboxylic acid reacts with an excess of alcohol in acidic conditions to form an ester. Draw the structure of the ester product in the reaction between pentanoic acid and 1‑propanol.arrow_forwardPart 4 - Lipids The cow milk B-lactoglobulin protein can bind to several lipids among which myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, and oleic acid. Question 4-1 b) Draw the semi-developed formula of both the palmitic acid and the oleic acid at physiological pH. Circle the hydrophilic part of each molecule. Do not forget to number the carbon atoms.arrow_forward
- 7. The following is an example of a type of lipid. Answer the following questions based on its structure: CH3 OH CH3 Testosterone (androgen) a. What type of lipid (there are only 2) is this categorized as: b. What three functional groups can be found in this structure?arrow_forwardArrange the fatty acids from highest melting point to lowest melting point. - CH3(CH2)10COOH - CH3(CH2)7CH=CH(CH2)7COOH - CH3(CH2)4(CH=CHCH2)4(CH2)2COOH - CH3(CH2)14COOH Select the statements about fatty acid melting points that are true. - A saturated fatty acid with a greater molar mass has a higher melting point than a saturated fatty acid with a lower molar mass. - A saturated fatty acid with a greater molar mass has a lower melting point than a saturated fatty acid with a lower molar mass. - A saturated fatty acid has a higher melting point than an unsaturated fatty acid. - A saturated fatty acid has a lower melting point than an unsaturated fatty acid.arrow_forwardThe prevalence of these organic substituents would indicate that a bio-molecule is a lipid? A) amide B) disulfide C) ester D) alcohol E) lots of hydrocarbons in rings or chains The prevalence of this organic functional group would indicate that a bio-molecule is a carbohydrate. A) amide B) disulfide C) ester D) alcohol E) lots of hydrocarbons in rings or chainsarrow_forward
