The melting points of a series of 18-carbon fatty acids are: stearic acid, 69.6 °C; oleic acid, 13.4 °C; linoleic acid, −5 °C; and linolenic acid, −11 °C.(a) What structural aspect of these 18-carbon fatty acids can be correlated with the melting point?(b) Draw all the possible triacylglycerols that can be constructed from glycerol, palmitic acid, and oleic acid. Rank them in order of increasing melting point.(c) Branched-chain fatty acids are found in some bacterial membrane lipids. Would their presence increase or decrease the fluidity of the membrane (that is, give the lipids a lower or higher melting point)? Why?
Draw a triacylglycerol containing three units of 18:3 (9,12,15).
Olestra has been used in certain snack foods as an alternative to fats and oils. Its structure consists of a sucrose molecule in which all free hydroxyl groups have formed esters with oleic acid (an 18-carbon monounsaturated fatty acid). Olestra molecules have no caloric value because they are exceptionally large and cannot be digested. Draw the structure of olestra. Use R-COOH as an abbreviation for oleic acid.

- Cellulose and glycogen are both polymers of glucose, but they have very different functions. Select all of the statements below that are true (this is a multi-select question). One important difference between cellulose and glycogen is that the cellulose has a(1→6) branches, which greatly increases the "connectiveness" within the structure. One important difference between cellulose and glycogen is that cellulose is a B(14) linked glucan, while glycogen is an a(1→4) linked glucan. The major cause of the functional difference is that glycogen is stored in the cytosol, whereas cellulose is a component of the cell walls. Cellulose is flexible due to the noncovalent interactions between the B(1-4) linked strands of glucose: the polymer can bend without breaking covalent bonds. Cellulose is more "stretchy" than glycogen, since its structure is held together only by the relatively weak hydrogen bonds.arrow_forwardExplain the three-dimensional structure of a saturated triacylglycerol ?arrow_forwardDetermine the class of lipid (see attached image for choices) shown by the following structures and whether if it is saponifiable or non-saponifiable.arrow_forward
