Question
Chapter 12, Problem 11P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The difference between the PAF and the structure of phospholipids needs to be explained.
Concept introduction:
The PAF has an activating factor fatty acid exists in the carbon. It acts in allergic response and toxic shock syndrome. The structure of phospholipid contains two hydrophobic fatty acids. The phosphate can be modified with serine.

- R V. Phospholipids are the main structural lipids that comprise cellular and organellar membranes. One abundant phospholipid in bacterial cell membranes is phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), which has a generic structure shown on the right. Note that R1 R and R2 are representative alkyl chains of attached fatty acids, each having about 16 – 20 carbon atoms. a) The overall net charge in one PE molecule is: -2 -1 0 +1 +2 CH₂ Phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) -CH H₂C. b) The glycerophosphate backbone in PE is a: D-enantiomer c) The fatty acids are attached to PE via which type of bond? amine L-enantiomer racemic NH3 amide ester ether d) Draw the commonly used cartoon representation of one phospholipid molecule.

- typed answer pleasearrow_forwardIonization State of Histidine.Each ionizable group of an amino acid can exist in one of two states, charged or neutral. The electric charge on the functional group is determined by the relationship between its pKa and the pH of the solution.
