The composition of a cell membrane is not uniform for all types of cells. Some cell membranes are more rigid than others.
Rigidity is determined by a variety of factors, one of which is the structure of the carbon chains in the phospholipids that
comprise the membrane. One example of a phospholipid was drawn in Section 3.7A, and another, having C-C double bonds
in its carbon chains, is drawn here. Which phospholipid would be present in the more rigid cell membrane and why?
CH2
H-C-O.
(CHa)NCH,CH2-0-
-o-CH2
a phospholipid with a bonds in the long hydrocarbon chains

The pain reliever acetaminophen is produced by reacting 4-aminophenol with acetic anhydride. Outline a synthesis of acetaminophen from 4-aminophenol including any needed inorganic reagents.
Glutathione is a tripeptide whose function is to destroy harmful oxidizing agents in the body. Oxidizing agents are thought to be responsible for some of the effects of aging and to play a causative role in cancer. Glutathione removes oxidizing agents by reducing them. In the process, glutathione is oxidized, resulting in the formation of a disulfide bond between two glutathione molecules. An enzyme subsequently reduces the disulfide bond, returning glutathione to its original condition so it can react with another oxidizing agent.a. What amino acids make up glutathione? b. What is unusual about glutathione’s structure?

- Ester compounds often have a sweet, pleasant odor. Many characteristic fruit scents are largely due to the natural presence of one or more ester compounds. As such, artificial scents for foods are often composed of complex mixtures of various esters. The exact identity and ratio of ingredients that compose a particular scent are closely guarded secrets in the food and fragrance industry. Suppose that you are a chemist working for a company that i creating a new line of air fresheners. The company is considering three scents: apple, pear, and pineapple. The project manager has asked you to prepare the ester compounds that are largely responsible for these scents.
