Why are lipoproteins needed to transport lipids in the bloodstream?
Sunflower seed oil can be used to make margarine. A triacylglycerol in sunflower seed oil contains two linoleic acids and one oleic acid.
a. Draw the condensed structural formulas for two isomers of the triacylglycerol in sunflower seed oil.
b. Using one of the isomers, write the reaction that takes place when sunflower seed oil is used to make solid margarine.

Identify each of the following as a fatty acid, soap, triacylglycerol, wax, glycerophospholipid, sphingolipid, or steroid:
a. beeswax
b. cholesterol
c. lecithin
d. glyceryl tripalmitate (tripalmitin)
e. sodium stearate
f. safflower oil
Draw the line-angle formula for each of the following fatty acids:
a. palmitic acid
b. oleic acid
Use line-angle formulas to write the balanced chemical equation for the acid hydrolysis of glyceryl trimyristate (trimyristin).
