Organic And Biological Chemistry
Classify each of the following types of lipids as (1) glycerol-based, (2) sphingosine-based, (3) steroid nucleus-based, or (4) fatty acid-based.
- a. Bile acids
- b. Oils
- c. Prostaglandins
- d. Thromboxanes
(a)
Interpretation: Bile acids have to be classified as glycerol-based, sphingosine-based, steroid nucleus-based or fatty acid-based.
Concept introduction: Lipids are the organic compounds, which are fatty acids or the derivatives of fatty acids. They are insoluble in water but are soluble in non-polar organic solvents. They include natural oils, waxes and steroids.
The non-saponifiable lipid, bile acid has a structure which has four-ring steroid nucleus tha...
(b)
Interpretation: Oils have to be classified as glycerol-based, sphingosine-based, steroid nucleus-based or fatty acid-based.
Concept introduction: Lipids are the organic compounds, which are fatty acids or the derivatives of fatty acids. They are insoluble in water but are soluble in non-polar organic solvents. They include natural oils, waxes and steroids.
(c)
