Concept explainers
Interpretation: We need to draw the condensed structure of a glycerophospholipid which has fatty acid stearic acid and ethanolamine attached to the phosphate group.
Concept introduction: Glycerophospholipid are compounds that are synthesized by condensation of a glycerol, 2 equivalents of fatty acid and 1 phosphate group attached to the third –OH group present in glycerol. General structure is:
Here n = number of carbons in the fatty acid chain; R= small groups like alcohols or
To draw: to draw the condensed structure of a glycerophospholipid which has fatty acid stearic acid and ethanolamine attached to the phosphate group.
