Hydrolysis products of triglycerides visualized in scatter plots

Steps:

• Hydrolysis breaks triglyceride into one glycerol and three fatty acids.
• Examine diagram to identify fatty acid properties (e.g., chain length, saturation).
• Compare scatter plots: each should plot three points representing the fatty acids' distinct features.
• Select plot matching the diagram's fatty acid composition.

Why B is correct:

• B displays three unique points for the fatty acids, aligning with triglyceride structure yielding diverse chains per biochemical definition.

Why the others are wrong:

• A shows only two points, underrepresenting the three fatty acids.
• C plots four points, overstating components beyond hydrolysis yield.
• D shows identical points, ignoring fatty acid variability in the diagram.

Final answer: B
