Draw the condensed structural formulas for all the products that would be obtained when the triacylglycerol in problem undergoes complete hydrolysis.
Identify the following features of this phospholipid, which is abundant in the myelin sheath that surrounds nerve cells:

a. Is the phospholipid formed from glycerol or sphingosine?

Because peanut oil floats on the top of peanut butter, the peanut oil in many brands of peanut butter is hydrogenated and the solid is mixed into the peanut butter to give a product that does not separate. If a triacylglycerol in peanut oil that contains one oleic acid and two linoleic acids is completely hydrogenated, draw the condensed structural formula for the product.
