Question
Chapter 7, Problem 7.79AP
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The comparison between the structures of a soap molecule to a phospholipid and the reason as to why a soap’s polar head is smaller than that of a phospholipid.
Introduction:
Soaps are defined as a mixture of sodium and potassium salts of fatty acids which are formed by the reaction of fats and oils with an alkali. The basic structure of soap consists of a long hydrophobic tail and a hydrophilic head.
Phospholipids belong to a class of lipids, which is a main structural component of cell membranes and have a glycerol backbone with fatty acids linked to it through an ester bond.
