Long-chain-fatty-acids that contains no C=C( double bonds) is called saturated all carbon to carbon bonds are single .
Fatty acid that possesses one C=C ( double bond ) is called mono-unsaturated eg oleic acid , one that has two or more C=C double bonds is called poly-unsaturated eg. arachidonic acid .

Wiki User
∙ 9y agoA lipid's fatty acids contain more than one double bond is called a polyunsaturated fatty acid. Examples of this include a number of important compounds like essential fatty acids.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoThat would be called polyunsaturated.

What causes an unsaturated fatty acid to have differ t shape than a satires fatty acid?
Unsaturated fatty acids have double carbon bonds.
What causes an unsaturated fatty acid to have a different shape than an a saturated fatty acid?
Unsaturated fatty acids have double carbon bonds.
An essential fatty acid with 18 carbon and two double bonds?
linoleic
An oil with one or more double bonds in the fatty acid?
These are unsaturated fats/lipids
What is a distinguishing characteristics of a saturated fatty acid?
its carbon atoms have no double bonds between them.
What causes an unsaturated fatty acid to have differ t shape than a satires fatty acid?
Unsaturated fatty acids have double carbon bonds.
A fatty acid is unsaturated if it does what?
contains double bonds.
What is a Fatty acid with two double bonds?
polyunsaturated.
How many double bonds do saturated fatty acids have?
There may be one double bond or many, up to six in important fatty acids.
When a fatty acid has a double bond at the third carbon from the methyl end what type of fatty acid is it considered?
Any fatty acid that has one or more double bonds is considered unsaturated.
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.
An unsaturated fatty acid differs from a saturated fatty acid in that the unsaturated fatty acid contains what?
double carbon carbon bonds
What causes an unsaturated fatty acid to have a different shape than an a saturated fatty acid?
Unsaturated fatty acids have double carbon bonds.
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".
What do fatty acid contain?
carbon atoms linked by double bonds
A fatty acid containing at least two double bonds is 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".
What is a distinguishing characteristic of a fatty acid?
Its carbon atoms have no double bonds between them.
