Show transcribed image text Healthy fats. Phospholipids are major components of the plasma membranes of animal cells. Draw the structure of phosphatidylcholine containing two fatty acids: linolenate and arachidonate (see Table 12.1). Which fatty acid is a omega-3 fatty acid? What is the net charge on this phospholipid? Do some further reading about the healthy effects of linolenate and arachidonate (again referring to reliable Internet sources). Write a short summary (~200 words) about each of these fatty acids.
