Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The triacylglycerol is to be drawn in which all three fatty acids are lauric acid.
Concept introduction:
Triglycerides are a type of fats found in the blood. Triacylglycerol or triglycerides are the tri-esters of a glycerol bound to three fatty acids. Fatty acids are the long-chain
(b)
Interpretation:
The triacylglycerol is to be drawn in which one fatty acid is linoleic acid and the other two are oleic acid.
Concept introduction:
Triglycerides are a type of fats found in the blood. Triacylglycerol or triglycerides are the tri-esters of a glycerol bound to three fatty acids. Fatty acids are the long-chain carboxylic acids that help to regulate blood pressure and blood lipid levels, and play major roles in the inflammatory response to injury. The hydroxyl group in glycerol and the carboxylic group in fatty acids condense to form an ester bond.
