Concept introduction:
All types of organic molecules have its own specific type of functional group. Functional groups present in biological molecules play a major role in the formation of molecules such as carbohydrates, DNA, proteins and lipids. Functional groups can be named as carbonyl, hydroxyl, amino, methyl, sulfhydryl, phosphate, and carboxyl.
(b)
Interpretation:
The double bonds of LTC4needs to be labeled as cis or trans.
Concept introduction:
Leukotrienes belong to the eicosanoid inflammatory mediators' family. They are produced in the leukocytes via oxidation of arachidonic acid and an essential fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid by the enzyme arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase. It is used in the lipid signaling in order to convey information to the neighboring cells and the cells producing them to maintain the immune responses. In the production of leukotrienes, the production of histamine and prostaglandins also takes place which act as an inflammatory mediator.

- For the following, you must draw an appropriate structure that has the chemical formula C5H7O2Cl with the indicated functional group(s) and/or property. In each case, identify any other functional groups in the molecule you draw, that were not indicated in the question. You may use Lewis or bond- line structures to draw your molecules. You may not use the same structure to answer more than 1 question. a) An acyclic molecule that cannot form hydrogen bonds with itself b) A tertiary chloride c) A cyclic etherarrow_forwardWrite the Lewis structure for methylbut -2-enoatearrow_forwardWhat is the difference between the hybridization of carbon atoms' valence orbitals in saturated and unsaturated hydrocarbons?arrow_forward
- Alcohols A, B, and C all have the composition C4H10O. Molecules of alcohol A contain a branched carbon chain and can be oxidized to an aldehyde; molecules of alcohol B contain a linear carbon chain and can be oxidizedto a ketone; and molecules of alcohol C can be oxidized to neither an aldehyde nor a ketone. Write the Lewis structures of these molecules.arrow_forwardEthanol and dimethyl ether have the same molecular formula C2H6O. Ethanol is liquid at room temperature while dimethyl ether is gas.
