Question
Chapter 25, Problem 31P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The structure of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine has to be given.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 31P
The structure of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine is given below:
Explanation of Solution
Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine is a surfactant found in the lining of the lungs. This lining prevents the lungs from collapsing when the lung volume is low. The injuries caused by inhaling particles can be avoided by this surfactant.
The structure of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine is given below:
Conclusion
The structure of dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine was given.

Our bodies synthesize vitamin D when our skin is exposed to sunlight, but the lack of outdoor exercise by today's children, in conjunction with regular use of sunscreen, may be contributing to a rise in the disease. The amount of vitamin D3 in fortified foods and fish can be measured by UV-Vis spectrometry. (J. Agric. Food Chem. 2009, 57, 2135-2146.) Using Woodward-Fieser rules, estimate the expected Amax for vitamin D3: HO.. Vitamin D3 CH3 nm H CH3 Select the number of each feature present in vitamin D3.
