Chapter 19, Problem 55P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The structure of phospholipid; cephalin formed from two molecules of palmitoleic acid needs to be drawn.

Concept Introduction:

Phospholipid is a type of lipid that contains a phosphorus atom. They are mainly found in the cell membrane of plants and animals. They are also called as phosphoacylglycerol as two fatty acids with phosphate group and alcoholic group are bonded to the glycerol molecule through ester linkage.

The phospholipid molecule has two ends; polar end and non-polar end. Two long hydrocarbon chains of fatty acids form the non-polar end of the molecule and are hydrophobic in nature, whereas the phosphate group is polar end and hydrophilic in nature. Due to this dual nature of phospholipid molecules, they form a lipid bilayer that can be effectively involved in the transfer of different hydrophobic and hydrophilic molecules across the cell membrane.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The structure of phosphatidylcholine formed from two molecules of lauric acid needs to be drawn.

The velocity distribution function of gas moleculesa) is used to measure their velocity, since the small size of gas molecules means that it cannot be measured in any other wayb) is only used to describe the velocity of particles if their density is very high.c) describes the probability that a gas particle has a velocity in a given interval of velocities
Explain why in the representation of a one-dimensional velocity distribution function for a particular gas, the maximum occurs for vi = 0 m/s.
Explain why the representation of a one-dimensional velocity distribution function for a particular gas becomes flatter as the temperature increases.
