Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The substance categories which possesses the given characteristics has to be predicted.
Concept introduction: The lipid that is composed of one fatty acid and one carbohydrate unit which are joined to a sphingosine molecule is known as sphingoglycolipid.
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.
Bile acid is a cholesterol derivative which functions as an emulsifying agent. It is a non-saponifiable lipid because, it neither has a glycosidic linkage, ester linkage or an amide linkage.
(b)
Interpretation: The substance categories which possesses the given characteristics has to be predicted
