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.
