Chapter 10, Problem 8P

(a)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The name of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic units of the compound phosphatidylethanolamine.

Introduction:

Hydrophobic compounds are the non-polar compounds and they do not dissolve in water (polar compound). Hydrophobic compounds include fats, oils, waxes, alkanes, and so on. Hydrophilic compounds are the polar molecule that may dissolve in water. Hydrophilic compounds include salts, sugars soaps and so on.

(b)
