What is the difference between a hydrocarbon and a fatty acid?
The difference between a hydrocarbon and a fatty acid is that a fatty acid is a hydrocarbon chain with a carboxylic acid head.
What is the difference between a saturaded and unsaturaded fatty acid?
The difference between a saturated and unsaturated fatty acid are the number of hydrogen atoms and double carbon bonds in the fatty acid chain. A saturated fatty acid has no carbon double bonds, two hydrogen atoms for each carbon atom along the chain and three for the carbon atom at each end. In an unsaturated fatty acid chain some of the hydrogen atoms are replaced by a double bond between neighboring carbon atoms. Mon-unsaturated and poly-unsaturated fatty acids differ in the number of double carbon bonds in the chain, and thus the total number of hydrogen atoms.
What is the Difference between saturated and unsaturated lipid?
The difference is related to which long chain fatty acid is incorporated. If it is a fatty acid that has double bonds, then it is an unsaturated lipid. If it contains fatty acids that have no double bonds, then it is a saturated lipid.
What is the difference between a saturated an a unsaturated fatty acid?
Unsaturated fatty acids have double bond or triple bonds, whereas saturated fatty acids do not.
What is volatile fatty acid number?
No one fatty acid is volatile.
Explain the difference between the solubility behaviors of glycerol and triglycerides?
Explain the difference between the solubility behaviors of glycerol,fatty acid and triglycerides
Explain the difference between saturated and unsaturated lipids?
The difference is related to which long chain fatty acid is incorporated. If it is a fatty acid that has double bonds, then it is an unsaturated lipid. If it contains fatty acids that have no double bonds, then it is a saturated lipid.
Difference between acid value and free fatty acid?
Free fatty acids are created by separating fatty acids from the fat molecule. To find the ration you must add a solvent agent. The lower the ratio is the better the storage and shelf life of the respective oil or fat will be.
What is difference between DHA and DNA?
DHA -- Docosahexaenoic acid -- is an omega-3 fatty acid that you get in your food (fish, for example). DNA -- Deoxyribonucleic acid -- is the genetic material that defines all life.
What is th difference between a phosophilipid and a lipid?
Phosophilipids contain a phosophate group in place of the fatty acid molecules in a normal lipid.
Why is oleic acid not classified as a saturated fatty acid?
because it is a monounsaturated fatty acid... it has one double bond between carbons 9 and 10.
What is a fatty acid with a double bond called?
It is called a Mono- unsaturated fatty acid. Unsaturated fatty acids have one or more double bonds between the Carbon atoms and here, sine the number of double bonds is one, we use the term "mono".
