Question
Chapter 25.5, Problem 8P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The way in which the bacteria regain their original fluidity has to be given.
Concept Introduction:
Phosphoglycerides form membranes by arranging themselves in a lipid bilayer.
The polar heads of the phosphoglycerides are on both surfaces of the bilayer and fatty acids form the interior of the bilayer.

A colony of bacteria accustomed to an environment with a temperature of 25 °C was moved to an identical environment, except that its temperature was 35 °C. The higher temperature increased the fluidity of the bacterial membranes. How can the bacteria regain their original membrane fluidity?
An 80 kg subject consumed a snack that contained 50 g of carbohydrate. Before eating the snack the subject’s blood glucose was 5.5 mM. Calculate the concentration of glucose (mM) that would be reached in the blood after consuming the snack.Assume that all the carbohydrate in the snack was converted to glucose, rapidly absorbed and distributed throughout the extracellular water (ECW) within 30 minutes. Assume ECW is approximately 20% of body weight and the glucose is not metabolised further.
Does washing your hands with soap help prevent the spread of coronavirus? The
structure of soap molecules is like the lipids in the membrane layer of the virus. The
soap molecules can surround the virus and remove it from the skin. It is also thought
that soap molecules can disrupt the lipids in the membrane and can therefore
'disintegrate' the virus. Sodium laurate is a common soap molecule. It
has the formula CHa(CH 2) 10 CO2- Na.. Sodium laurate can be produced from coconut
oil and sodium hydroxide.
Questions:
1. What are the reactants needed for this reaction?
2. Write down the chemical reaction in the production of sodium laurate.
3. What do you call the process in soap preparation?
