2 9744/02/J1H2/Promo/2021 Section A 1 Fats are usually stored as oil in the seeds of the plants and occasionally in the fleshy part of the fruit, as in the olive and the oil palm. The oil is a reserve of high -energy food for use by the germinating seed for growth of the embryo. The sunflower seed is actually the fruit of the sunflower (Helianthus annuus) and may contain about 51% oil. Fig. 1.1 shows a triglyceride molecule found in sunflower oil. (a) On Fig. 1.1, circle an ester bond. [1] (b) Sunflower oil can be used to make biodiesel. During the process, the fatty acids in the triglyceride react with methanol to form fatty acid methyl esters that are liquid products. The other component of the original triglyceride molecule forms another liquid product that is denser than the methyl esters. Name the component of the molecule seen in Fig. 1.1 that forms this denser liquid. ……………………………………………………………………………………………………… [1] (c) Table 1.1 shows the melting points of the three different fatty acid methyl esters. Table 1.1 fatty acid methyl ester formula melting point / oC methyl linoleate C19H34O2 methyl linolenate C19H32O2 - 55.0 methyl oleate C19H36O2 - 20.0 Fig. 1.1
