Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The skeletal structure for B needs to be drawn and the cis double bond needs to be clearly shown.
Concept Introduction:
Fatty
(b)
Interpretation:
The type of omega-n acid needs to be determined.
Concept Introduction:
The unsaturated fatty acids can be classified as omega-n acids. Here, n is the carbon at which the first double bond occurs.
(c)
Interpretation:
The stereoisomer of B needs to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Stereoisomers are molecules that have the same molecular formula and connectivity of atoms but differ in the three-dimensional orientation of the atoms in space. There are two types of stereoisomers as diastereomers and enantiomers.
(d)
Interpretation:
The structure of the wax formed from A and CH3(CH2)8OH needs to be drawn.
Concept Introduction:
Waxes are esters formed by reacting a fatty acid and high molecular weight alcohol.

The first is between carbons 3 and 4 and a double bond is between carbons 7 and 8, both measured from the end of the hydrophobic chain (away from the carboxylic acid end).

- Indicate whether or not each of the following statements is TRUE or FALSE. Justify your answer with ONE or TWO sentences. i. Lipids are considered to be more soluble in water than in other solvents. ii. The many -OH groups present in carbohydrates such as glucose make them quite insoluble in water and blood. ii. Carbohydrate structure shows that water molecules are connected to carbon atoms. iv. Hydrocarbons contain carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. A monosaccharide can be hydrolyzed to smaller units.

Vegetable oil can also be hydrogenated until it becomes fully saturated with hydrogen atoms. Would the physical properties of the hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils differ? If so, how and why would the differences occur? Do you think that full hydrogenation makes vegetable oil more or less healthy to eat, or does it have no effect? 2. Lipoprotein particles are relatively large, spherical clumps of protein and lipid molecules (see Figure 3.18) that circulate in the blood of mammals. They are like suitcases that move cholesterol, fatty acid remnants, triglycerides, and phospholipids from one place to another in the body. Given what you know about the insolubility of lipids in water, which of the four kinds of lipids would you predict to be on the outside of a lipoprotein clump, bathed in the water-based fluid portion of blood? 3.
