a. On your model of glycerol, remove one of the hydrogen from an end hydroxyl group. b. Remove the -OH from the Lauric acid model c. Attach the fatty acid to the location on the glycerol molecule where the hydrogen was removed. Is this a mono-, di-, or triglyceride? mono = one d. Attach the H from the glycerol to the OH from the Lauric acid. di = two tri = three H H H-C-0 C(CH2)10CH3 H-C-OH + HOOC(CH2)oCH3 HCOH H-C-OH + H-C-OH H-C-OH 1 H Circle the atoms vou removed H What molecule do the removed atoms form? Write it in the box above. H 3. Attach the model of Palmitic acid to the same glycerol's middle hydroxyl group, using the method described in part #2 a-d. H .
