Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The arachidonic acid, nervonic acid, myristic acid has to be classified as saturated, mono-, di-, or polyunsaturated compounds.
Concept Introduction:
The mono-unsaturated compounds are the compounds which have only one double bond in it. The di-unsaturated compounds are the compounds which have two double bonds in it. The polyunsaturated compounds are the compounds which have more than two double bonds in it.
(b)
Interpretation:
The balanced chemical equation for the formation of triglyceride with arachidonic acid, nervonic acid, myritstic acid has to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
The reaction between acid and alcohol gives an ester as a major product. The ester group is derived by a
