Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: In a molecule of glycocholic acid, the number of attachments to the steroid nucleus has to be predicted.
Concept introduction: There are two types of bile acids: simple and complexed. When a small amino group is attached to the carboxyl group of side chain present at carbon 17 through an amide linkage, then the free bile acids get converted into more complex bile acid.
(b)
Interpretation: In a molecule of glycocholic acid, the number of different
Concept introduction: There are two types of bile acids: simple and complexed. When a small amino group is attached to the carboxyl group of side chain present at carbon 17 through an amide linkage, then the free bile acids get converted into more complex bile acid.
(c)
Interpretation: In a molecule of glycocholic acid, the number of different functional groups has to be predicted.
