Draw the structure of phosphatidylethanolamine that contains twofatty acids:

1) 16:0 fatty acid linked to carbon 1 of glycerol
2) 18:1 cis-?9 fatty acid linked to carbon 2 of glycerol

Please help with this, also could u explain what the 16:0 and 18:1is referring too?
THanks

The study of the fatty acid content of food suplements is important due to the fact that saturated fatty acids (thosecontaining no double or triple bonds)have been linked to an increase of heart disease due to arteriosclerosis. Ussually fatty acids of natural sources occur in even number of carbons. Atrivial nomenclature indicates the number of carbons present in the carboxylic acid followed by a number which represents the number of unsaturations, foe example a (C 18:1)carboxylic acid represents octadecanoic acid (18 carbons and no unsaturation), a (C18:1) carboxylic acid represents an 18 carbon carboxylic acid with one unsaturation. Attempts to analyze carboxylic acid using gas chromatographyare only succesful when the carboxylic acid is converted to its corresponding methyl ester derivative. Below is the chomatogram of the methyl esters from the carboxylic acids obtained from food sample containing a double bond at the third carbon. (C 4:1), (C8:1), (C6:1), and (C10:1). Draw structural formulas for four acids and four esters, give IUPAC name.
