Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Glycerol can cross the cell membrane or not has to be explained.

Concept introduction:

A lipid bilayer is formed when phosphoglyceride self-assemble in water.  The surface of the bilayer is polar and hence it is water soluble.  The lipid bilayer is the main fabric of cell membrane.  The lipid bilayer acts as a barrier which restrict the flow of water and ions through cell membranes.  If the compound has a hydrophobic group means it can cross the non-polar environment and if a compound has hydrophilic group it cannot cross the non-polar environment.

To explain: whether glycerol can cross cell membrane or not.

A student proposes the transformation below in one step of an organic synthesis. There may be one or more reactants missing from the left-hand side, but there are no products missing from the right-hand side. There may also be catalysts, small inorganic reagents, and other important reaction conditions missing from the arrow. • Is the student's transformation possible? If not, check the box under the drawing area. • If the student's transformation is possible, then complete the reaction by adding any missing reactants to the left-hand side, and adding required catalysts, inorganic reagents, or other important reaction conditions above and below the arrow. • You do not need to balance the reaction, but be sure every important organic reactant or product is shown. + T G OH де OH This transformation can't be done in one step.
