Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The arachidonic acid, nervonic acid, myristic acid has to be classified as saturated, mono-, di-, or polyunsaturated compounds.
Concept Introduction:
The mono-unsaturated compounds are the compounds which have only one double bond in it. The di-unsaturated compounds are the compounds which have two double bonds in it. The polyunsaturated compounds are the compounds which have more than two double bonds in it.
(b)
Interpretation:
The balanced chemical equation for the formation of triglyceride with arachidonic acid, nervonic acid, myritstic acid has to be predicted.
Concept Introduction:
The reaction between acid and alcohol gives an ester as a major product. The ester group is derived by a carboxylic acid group in which the acidic hydrogen is replaced by an alkyl group. The fatty acid can react with glycerol to form triglyceride with the formation of ester linkages.

The condensed structural formula for a triacylglycerol containing three palmitoleic acid units is provided below. Which of the following statements is NOT true regarding this triacylglycerol? O || CH,−O−C–(CH,)–CH=CH—(CH2)5–CH3 O || CH−O−C−(CH2)–CH=CH–(CH,)5–CH3 O CH,−O−C−(CH,)–CH=CH–(CH,)5–CH, O Its name is glyceryl tripalmitate or tripalmitin. O It is most likely to be liquid at room temperature. O It is an oil (not a fat). O It contains 3 molecules of the same unsaturated fatty acid.arrow_forward
