Dodecanoic acid esterified to glycerol
Consider the following classes of molecules. Glycerol Fatty acid Alcohol with higher molecular weight Phosphate (in the form of phosphodiester) Which classes of molecules are present in a sphingolipid? Glycerol Glycerol. Fatty acid Phosphate Fatty acid. Alcohol with high molecular weight Glycerol. Fatty acid. Phosphate
Draw a triacylglyceride made from glycerol and acetic acid.
Triglycerides can be broken down by hydrolysis reactions to glycerol and fatty acid chains in the digestive tract. Glycerol is easily converted to 1 phosphoglyceraldehyde also known as PGAL. Using your knowledge about how aerobic cellular respiration functions, explain how from this original glycerol molecule how many ATP’s are formed in this process. Make sure you include explanations where each ATP is made.
4.(2) Give the name for the triacylglycerol that is formed from myristic acid and glycerol.
Trimyristin is a fatty acid ester of myristic acid and glycerol. Draw the structure of the products of the base-catalyzed hydrolysis of trimyristin. Using this reaction, calculate a theoretical yield if you started with 1 g of trimyristin. Upload a picture showing all of your calculations. In our experiment we used 50mL of DCM and then refluxed and preformed a distillation to removed the excess DCM. We then used cool acetone to wash the crystals and then did vacuum filtration.
1. Draw the structure of tripalmitin, the triacylglycerol made from glycerol and palmitic acid. CH2-OH CH-OH CH2-OH palmitic acid glycerol 2. Draw the structure of the product when linolenic acid has been completely halogenated with bromine (Bra). linolenic acid 3. Three fats, labeled X, Y, and Z, were analyzed for double bond content and found to have "iodine numbers" of 78, 147, and 180, respectively. Which of the fats was the most saturated?
ter, wensenester Donas to produce glycerol and three molecules of stearic acid. 7. Describe the similarities and differences between triacylglycerols and glycerophospholipids.
A glycerol molecule and three butyric acid molecules are shown below. Delete atoms and add bonds as necessary to form a triacylglycerol (triglyceride). Draw only the triacylglycerol product.
Calculate the extent of reaction at which gelation occurs for the following mixtures of glycerol/terephthalic acid/trimesic acid (using the Carothers approach); ‘unnormalized’ molar ratios are provided below: (f) 1.0/1.0/0 (g) 1.0/0/1.0 (h) 1.0/0.5/0.5 (i) 1.5/0.5/0.5 (j) 1.5/0.99/0.002
