Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The substance categories which possesses the given characteristics has to be predicted.
Concept introduction: In sphingophospholipids, the platform molecule is sphingosine to which one fatty acid and one phosphate group are attached. An alcohol is attached to the phosphate group. There are two ester linkages and one amide linkage present in the structure of sphingophospholipids.
The mixture of long chains of
Lipids which is a monoester of long chain fatty acids and a long chain of alcohol is called biological wax.
A cholesterol derivative which acts as a lipid-emulsifying agent in the aqueous environment of the digestive tract is known as a bile acid.
(b)
Interpretation: The substance categories which possesses the given characteristics has to be predicted.
Concept introduction: The lipids that are composed of a fatty acid and a phosphate group which is joined with a sphingosine molecule and an alcoholic group is known as sphingophospholipids. It has one amide linkage and two ester linkages.
The mixture of long chains of alkanes that are obtained from the processing of petroleum is called mineral wax.
Lipids which is a monoester of long chain fatty acids and a long chain of alcohol is called biological wax.
The cholesterol derivative that function as emulsification lipid and is non-saponifiable is called Bile acid.
(c)
