0 1 . 1 Figure 1 shows the structure of a fatty acid molecule and the structure of a glycerol
molecule.
Figure 1
On Figure 1, draw a circle around the part of the fatty acid molecule and the part of
the glycerol molecule that is removed to form a bond in a triglyceride molecule.
Name the bond formed between a fatty acid and glycerol in a triglyceride molecule.
Name the reaction involved in forming a bond between a fatty acid and glycerol in a
triglyceride molecule.

0 1 . 4 The ratio of saturated to unsaturated fatty acids in a cell-surface membrane box
determines the extent of the membrane’s fluidity.
Scientists provided a cell culture of mouse phagocytes with liquid broth rich in
unsaturated fatty acids.
The scientists observed:
• an increase in the proportion of phospholipids in the phagocytes containing
unsaturated fatty acids
• more phagocytosis.
Suggest and explain why there was more phagocytosis.
