Chapter 19.2, Problem 19.3P
Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The skeletal structure for the given fatty acids needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

In fatty acid, there is a straight chain of carbon atoms with attached hydrogen atoms. In the straight-chain, one end contains a carboxyl group(−COOH).

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The hydrophilic/hydrophobic portions of the fatty acids needs to be identified.

Concept introduction:

Usually, in fatty acid, there are 2 portions as head & chain. The hydrophilic part of any species is water-soluble and the hydrophobic part is water-insoluble.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

Depending on the skeletal structure, the fatty acid with a higher melting point needs to be determined.

Concept introduction:

The physical & chemical properties of fatty acids are markedly dependent on chain length and degree of saturation. If the length or size of the fatty acid is more, then it has a higher melting point. Also, the surface area of any substance and its bond strength is directly proportional to the melting point.

fatty acid naming 1 A fatty acid contains 18 carbon atoms and has two double bonds. The first is between carbons 3 and 4 and a double bond is between carbons 7 and 8, both measured from the end of the hydrophobic chain (away from the carboxylic acid end). What do we call this type of fatty acid? Select an answer and submit. For keyboard navigation, use the up/down arrow keys to select an answer. a omega 2 fatty acid b. omega 3 fatty acid omega 7 fatty acid omega 8 fatty acid omega 18 fatty acid
Arrange the fatty acids from highest melting point to lowest melting point. - CH3(CH2)10COOH - CH3(CH2)7CH=CH(CH2)7COOH - CH3(CH2)4(CH=CHCH2)4(CH2)2COOH - CH3(CH2)14COOH  Select the statements about fatty acid melting points that are true.  - A saturated fatty acid with a greater molar mass has a higher melting point than a saturated fatty acid with a lower molar mass. - A saturated fatty acid with a greater molar mass has a lower melting point than a saturated fatty acid with a lower molar mass. - A saturated fatty acid has a higher melting point than an unsaturated fatty acid. - A saturated fatty acid has a lower melting point than an unsaturated fatty acid.

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.
