Question
Refer to the lipid structure below to answer the following questions. A. Is this a phospholipid, a triacylglycerol, or a sphingolipid? (1 point) Answer B. Which of the three fatty acid chains (A, B, and C) would be classified as polyunsaturated? Enter all that apply. (1 point) Answer: bonds, and positions of double bonds in fatty acid B (3 points). Answer: Answer C. Use proper notation (standard nomenclature) to indicate the chain length, number of double D. Based on its chemical structure, would this lipid be found in a fat or an oil? (1 point)Explanation / Answer
A - It is a triacylglycerol
B - Chain B and D will be classified as polyunsaturated because they have more than one double bonds and chain A has only one double bond that is monounsaturated.
C - nomenclature will be 19:2, n-10
D - As this lipid is polyunsaturated so this will be in liquid form on room temperature and because of that reason it will be part of oil.
