Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are the organic compounds that are obtained in foods and living matters in the shape of sugars, cellulose, and starch. The general formula of carbohydrates is Cn(H2O)2. The ratio of H and O present in carbohydrates is identical to water.
Starch
Starch is a polysaccharide carbohydrate that belongs to the category of polysaccharide carbohydrates.
Mutarotation
The rotation of a particular structure of the chiral compound because of the epimerization is called mutarotation. It is the repercussion of the ring chain tautomerism. In terms of glucose, this can be defined as the modification in the equilibrium of th…
L Sugar
A chemical compound that is represented with a molecular formula C6H12O6 is called L-(-) sugar. At the carbon’s 5th position, the hydroxyl group is placed to the compound’s left and therefore the sugar is represented as L(-)-sugar. It is capable of rotat…

Chapter 13.4, Problem 13.10P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The compound that is more soluble in water has to be identified between arachidonic acid and prostaglandin PGF2α.

Concept Introduction:

Polar molecules dissolve more in water as water is polar solvent.  Nonpolar molecules do not dissolve in water.  This is based on “Like dissolves like” principle.  If the compound contains more number of polar groups, then it is said to be more soluble in water.
