Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The fatty acids which are used to form the below triacylglycerol needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Lipids are biomolecules that are involved in different biochemical reactions. They are special types of organic molecules which can only be identified with the help of their physical properties, not by the presence of any certain functional group. In general, lipids contain a large number of C-C and C-H bonds with few polar functional groups such as −OH, -SH, etc. For example, triacylglycerol consists of three ester groups whereas Vitamin E is composed of both ether and phenolic groups.

Answer to Problem 50P

In the given triacylglycerol; the fatty acids must be:

  CH3-( CH2)14-COOH - Palmitic acid

  CH3-( CH2)4-CH=CH-CH2-CH=CH(CH2)7COOH - Linoleic acid

  CH3-( CH2)5-CH=CH(CH2)7COOH - Palmitoleic acid

Explanation of Solution

Triacylglycerols are most abundant lipids which are mainly found in animal fat and vegetable oils. They are triesters of glycerol, therefore in the formation of one molecule of triacylglycerol, three molecules of fatty acids react with one molecule of glycerol as given below;

  CH2(OH)CH(OH)CH2(OH) + 3 R- COOHCH2(OCOR)CH(OCOR)CH2(OCOR) + 3 H2O

Hence the left side part of hydrocarbon chains is part of fatty acids in the triacylglycerol molecule. The structural formula for the given triacylglycerol is as given below.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The physical state of given triacylglycerol needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Lipids are biomolecules that are involved in different biochemical reactions. They are special types of organic molecules which can only be identified with the help of their physical properties, not by the presence of any certain functional group. In general, lipids contain a large number of C-C and C-H bonds with few polar functional groups such as −OH, -SH, etc. For example, triacylglycerol consists of three ester groups whereas Vitamin E is composed of both ether and phenolic groups.

Answer to Problem 50P

The triacylglycerol must be in a liquid state.

Explanation of Solution

In the given triacylglycerol; the fatty acids must be:

  CH3-( CH2)14-COOH - Palmitic acid

  CH3-( CH2)4-CH=CH-CH2-CH=CH(CH2)7COOH - Linoleic acid

  CH3-( CH2)5-CH=CH(CH2)7COOH - Palmitoleic acid

Linoleic acid and Palmitoleic acid are unsaturated fatty acids as they have C=C bonds in the long hydrocarbon chain. The unsaturation in fatty acids decreases the melting point of molecule due to bending in the molecule. Since the given triacylglycerol is composed of unsaturated fatty acids, therefore, it should exist in a liquid state.

(c)

Interpretation:

The hydrophobic part of given triacylglycerol needs to be determined.

Answer to Problem 50P

The long hydrocarbon chains in the triacylglycerol molecule is hydrophobic part of the molecule.

Explanation of Solution

Triacylglycerols are most abundant lipids which are mainly found in animal fat and vegetable oils. They are triesters of glycerol, therefore in the formation of one molecule of triacylglycerol, three molecules of fatty acids react with one molecule of glycerol as given below;

  CH2(OH)CH(OH)CH2(OH) + 3 R- COOHCH2(OCOR)CH(OCOR)CH2(OCOR) + 3 H2O

The long hydrocarbon chains of the triacylglycerol are hydrophobic part as it is non-polar part.

Answer to Problem 50P

The ester linkage in the triacylglycerol molecule is hydrophilic part of the molecule.
