(a)
Interpretation:
Example of unsaturated fatty acid with more than one
Concept Introduction:
Fatty acid leads to formation of lipids and consists of a carboxyl group with long straight chain of carbon and hydrogen atoms. Long straight-chain can be saturated as well as unsaturated.
(b)
Interpretation:
Example of wax with 12 carbon fatty acids has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Waxes are the type of nonpolar lipids that contain esters and are formed by the reaction of
(c)
Interpretation:
An example of cephalin has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Cephalin is a phosphoacylglycerol that contains two fatty acids and a phosphate group to that alcohol is attached and an ester group is present in its structure. It is a hydrolyzable lipid. The general structure of cephalin is as follows:
