(a)
Interpretation: The building blocks which represents the fatty acid residues in the given block diagram of sphingophospholipid have to be predicted.
Concept introduction: In sphingophospholipids, the platform molecule is sphingosine to which one fatty acid and one phosphate group are attached. An alcohol is attached to the phosphate group. There are two ester linkages and one amide linkage present in the structure of sphingophospholipids.

- The approximation of calculating the partition function by integration instead of the summation of all the energy terms can only be done if the separation of the energy levels is much smaller than the product kT. Explain why.arrow_forwardExplain the meaning of: the electron partition function is equal to the degeneracy of the ground state.arrow_forward28.
