Question
Chapter 31, Problem 31.7P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The ways of similarities between phosphoacylglycerols with soaps are to be stated.
Concept introduction: Phosphoacylglycerols are also known as phosphoglycerides. Their structures differ to triacylglycerols with one important difference. The phosphoacylglycerols involves esterification of only two

Phosphoacylglycerols should remind you of soaps. In what ways are these compounds similar?
Phosphoacylglycerols should remind you of soap. In what ways are thesecompounds similar?
1. Draw, using condensed structural formulas, all reactants and products of the saponification reaction of a triacylglycerol using NaOH. Use lauric acid, a 12-carbon saturated fatty acid found in vegetable shortening.
2. Soap can be made using a variety of different fats, oils and bases. Suppose a student wanted to make a soft, liquid soap that lathers easily. What type(s) of fat/oil and base would you recommend? How would this differ from making a solid bar of soap?
3. Vegetable oils are typically liquid at room temperature, yet Crisco (which is made of vegetable oil) is solid at room temperature. Explain why/how this is the case.
4. Explain, with the use of a diagram how soap molecules work to clean “dirt” particles.
5. Amylase is a natural enzyme found in saliva. Describe this enzyme’s function.
6. Lactose is a sugar found in milk and other dairy products. Explain how it is broken down in most individuals. Explain lactose “intolerance”.
