Question
Chapter 23, Problem 4LGP
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The structure of phospholipid, all the products which are formed from phospholipid on complete hydrolysis and the products of the given reactions with unsaturated fatty acid moiety of this phospholipid are to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
▸ Phospholipids are a class of lipids which are a major component of all cell membranes.
▸ The structure of the phospholipid molecule consists of two hydrophobic fatty acids and a hydrophilic phosphate group. The two components are joined together by a glycerol molecule.
▸ Complete hydrolysis of a phospholipid gives two fatty acids (constituting the phospholipid), phosphoric acid and glycerol.
