Concept explainers
Some marine plankton contain triacylglycerols formed from the poly unsaturated fatty acid, 3,6,9,12,15-docosapentaenoic acid.
- Draw a skeletal structure showing the cis arrangement at each double bond.
- Label the hydrophobic and hydrophilic portions of the fatty acid.
- How does the melting point of this fatty acid compare to the melting point of oleic acid?
- Would you expect this fatty acid to be a solid or a liquid at room temperature?
- What type of omega-n acid is this fatty acid?

Hesperetin, in the form of its glycoside hesperidin, is the predominant flavonoid in lemons and oranges. Label any polar bonds in the structure using a crossed arrow to show the direction of polarity. For the carbon atoms highlighted blue give the shape and the expected bond angle based on VSEPR.

Saponification is the hydrolysis of triglycerides into "soap" (salts of long chain carboxylic acids). Oil-based paints are often made with triglycerides. The colors or pigments often contain metal salts. Soap 'blooms' sometimes appear in old Renaissance paintings in museums leading to degradation of the artwork. How do these soap blooms form? Renaissance painters often washed their brushes with soap and water. The metals can catalyze the formation of triglycerides from fatty acids and glycerine in the paint. The metals can catalyze the hydrolysis of the triglycerides in the paint with water from the air. The soap used on the floors by the museum cleaning crew bonds to the surface of the painting.arrow_forward
