- Saturated and Unsaturated Fats Which of the following triglycerides will be a liquid at room temperature?arrow_forwardFats belong to the class of organic compounds represented by the general formula, RCOOR', where R and R' represent hydrocarbon groups. What is the name of the functional group present in fats? What functional group is common to all saponifiable lipids?arrow_forward(b) Glucose has the following structure. Describe the properties based on the structure of glucose.arrow_forward
- The main fatty acid component of the triacylglycerols in coconut oil is lauric acid, CH3(CH2)10COOH. Explain why coconut oil is a liquid at room temperature even though it contains a large fraction of this saturated fatty acid.arrow_forwardfor structures a, b and c do the following: a.) identify each of the following as a saturated, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, omega-3, or omega-6 fatty acid b.) write the shorthand notations for all the fatty acidsarrow_forwardMethanogens are prokaryotes that produce methane according to the net equation H2 + CO2→CH4 + 2H2O. Some bacteria consume methane according to the net equation CH4 + SO42- →HCO3- + HS− + H2O. (a) Classify these two types of bacteria as autotrophic or heterotrophic. (b) Explain why the two types of bacteria are often found associated with each other.arrow_forward
- The functional group of butanone is:(a) Carboxyl(b) ketonic(c) aldehydic(d) alcoholicarrow_forwardA lipid has the following structure: CH2-O-CH2-(CH2)16CH3 0 CH-O-C-(CH2)4CH=CHCH2CH=CH(CH2)7CH3 0 || CH2-O-C-(CH2)4CH-CHCH2CH=CH(CH2)7CH3 Which of the statements are true or false about the structure above Both this structure and a wax contain one or more carboxyl groups This lipid and a prostaglandin can both be hydrolyzed in acid to create fatty acids This lipid and a thromboxane can both be hydrolyzed in base to produce soaps Both this lipid and a terpene can be very hydrophobic molecules Based on its structural similarity to other lipids, this lipid most likely functions as a membrane component Both this structure and a wax contain one or more ester bonds This lipid and an arachidonic acid both contain glycerol and hydrocarbon chains Based on its structural similarity to other lipids, this lipid most likely functions as an energy storage molecule Both this lipid and a terpene can contain isoprene This lipid and a leukotriene are both polyunsaturated molecules Both this structure…arrow_forward(a) Draw a skeletal structure of the anabolic steroid 4-androstene-3,17-dione, also called "andro," from the following description. Andro contains the tetracyclic steroid skeieton with carbonyl groups at C3 and C17, a double bond between C4 and C5, and methyl groups bonded to C10 and C13. (b) Add wedges and dashes for all stereogenic centers with the following information: the configuration at C10 is R, the configuration at C13 is S, and all substituents at ring fusions are trans to each other.arrow_forward
- V F2 # 3 E 80 F3 What is the difference between integral and peripheral proteins? $ 4 F4 R A) Integral proteins are required for the cell to function, while peripheral proteins are accessory. 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_forwardRegarding lipids, indicate the TRUE alternative: a) All of them are characterized by the same functional group. b) The saponification reaction is characteristic of fatty acids. c) Waxes cannot be saponified. d) Oils undergo reduction processes but not oxidation. e) Cis fatty acids are common in nature.arrow_forward4. The ester you drew in Question #1 has a melting point range of 32 - 35 °C. The methyl ester of mono-unsaturated palmitoleic acid (IUPAC name: hexadec-9-enoic acid) has a considerably lower melting point range: -0.5-+0.5 °C. a) Explain what it means for a fatty acid to be "mono-unsaturated." b) Illustrate your explanation by drawing the structure of the methyl ester of octadec-11-enoic acid.
