(a)
Interpretation:
The structure of wax formed by the reaction of
Concept Introduction:
The general reaction of wax formation of fatty acid and higher alcohols can be written as:
Answer to Problem 35P
The skeleton formula of wax is
Explanation of Solution
Fatty acids are long chain carboxylic acids, which consist of two parts; long hydrocarbon chains and polar −COOH group. Waxes are good example of hydrolyzable lipids, which are composed of fatty acid and higher alcohols. They have an ester functional group which is formed between
Hence, the reaction of

B) Integral proteins are found on the outside of the cell, while peripheral proteins are found on the inside of the cell. C) Integral proteins extend through the lipid bilayer, and peripheral proteins are just on the surface of the inside or outside of the cell. Question 11 of 19 D) Integral proteins are found on the inside of the cell, while peripheral proteins are found on the outside of the cell. E) Integral proteins are channel proteins and peripheral proteins act as enzymes. % 5 F5 T <6 MacBook Air F6 Y & 7 ♡ F7 U * 8 DII F8 1 ( - 9 F9 0 O F10arrow_forward3.
