Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The isoprene skeleton of vitamin A is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Isoprene unit contains five carbon atoms. The carbon atoms of isoprene unit are connected by sigma bond or pi bond. Terpenes and terpenoids contain unequal number of isoprene units. Vitamins are the organic compounds that are essential in small amounts for the proper functioning of the human body.
(b)
Interpretation:
The isoprene skeleton of caryophyllene is to be stated.
