Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The nine possible condensed structure of the beeswax molecules is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Lipids are the water-insoluble compounds found in the living organisms. Lipids are parted into three classes (1) Fats, oils and phospholipids, (2) waxes, and (3) steroids.
In the waxes, beeswax is the first ever discovered wax.

Explanation of Solution
Waxes are the ester of long chain fatty acids with long chain alcohols. Beeswax is solid wax containing the esters of saturated fatty acids with long chain alcohols. The number of carbons in the alkyl group of alcohol ranges from

- What is the basis for deciding if a substance is a lipid?arrow_forwardIn general terms, what does the tertiary structure of a protein represent? Distinguish between the secondary and tertiary structures of a protein.arrow_forwardDraw the condensed structure for Butane and please follow the steps below to answer the question. Step 1: Draw the 2-dimensional structural formula for the molecule Step 2: Identify the carbon backbone (or skeleton) and any branches or side-chains in the structural formula as well as any functional groups such as halogen (group 17) atoms. Step 3: Identify groups of atoms along the carbon backbone in the 2-dimensional structural formula. Step 4: Re-draw the formula by replacing the identified groups of atoms in the 2-dimensional structural formula with their condensed structure, or semi-structural formula. Step 5: Remove single carbon-carbon covalent bonds from the backbone or skeleton (this step is not absolutely necessary). Step 6: If the molecule contains branches or side-chains: (a) condense the structure as for the carbon backbone (b) use parantheses (round brackets) to enclose groups of atoms attached to the chain (c) use a subscript number to indicate the number of times this…arrow_forward

Fill in the blanks with the correct word/words to complete the given statement. 1. Carbohydrates are an essential part of our diet. They provide our bodies with energy through. sugar that is a component of starch. 2. Carbohydrates always come in a 1:2:1 carbon to hydrogen to oxygen ratio, respectively. With this we can represent carbohydrate molecules by the stolchlometric formula, (CH20)n; where, n is the number of molecule 3. Monosaccharides (mono- = "one"; sacchar-= "sweet") are 4. Compounds with same molecular formula but differs in molecular structure are called 5. For humans, glucose is important source of energy. Energy used to produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP) comes from glucose during 6. Disaccharides (di- = "two") are formed from two monosaccharides that had undergone 7.
