How do molecules of cholesterol affect the structure of cell membranes?
15.81 Identify the components (to ) contained in each of the following lipids (a to d):
1. glycerol
2. fatty acid
3. phosphate
4. amino alcohol
5. steroid nucleus
6. sphingosine
a. estrogen
b. cephalin
c. wax
d. triacylglycerol
Match the lipoprotein (to ) with its description (a to d).
1. chylomicrons
2. VLDL
3. LDL
4. HDL
a. "good" cholesterol
b. transports most of the cholesterol to the cells
c. carries triacylglycerols from the intestine to the fat cells
d. transports cholesterol to the liver
Among the ingredients in lipstick are beeswax, carnauba wax, hydrogenated vegetable oils, and glyceryl tricaprate (tricaprin).
a. What types of lipids are these?
b. Draw the condensed structural formula for glyceryl tricaprate (tricaprin). Capric acid is a saturated carbon fatty acid.
Use condensed structural formulas to write the balanced chemical equation for the hydrogenation of glyceryl tripalmitoleate, a fat containing glycerol and three palmitoleic acid molecules.
