∙ 15y agoA saturated fat molecule is one in which every carbon on the fatty acid is bonded to its neighboring carbon atom and two hydrogen atoms, it will be a straight line. An unsaturated fat contains a double bond between two neighboring carbons and will therefor result in a "kink" or a small beind in the carbon chain

∙ 13y agoThere consistency at room temperature. Triglycerides containing fatty acids with unsaturated bonds melt at a lower temperature than those containing only saturated fatty acids. Example butter which is primarily saturated fat at room temp is a solid, whereas corn oil, which is a liquid contains primarily unsaturated fatty acids.

What does an unsaturated solution look like?
it is clear and has no solute settled on the bottom
What shape is a triglyceride?
it varies depending on the lengths of the three fatty acid chains attached to the glycerin.
What does car battery acid look like?

Why does hydrolysis of lipid molecules yield fatty acids and glycerol?
If you look at the strucure of a triglyceride, it is composed of 3 fatty acids and a glycerol, If you hydrolyze the bonds between them, they will break.
Are endospores acid fast?
No, endospores are not acid fast because they are not cells. Endospores will stain with the acid fast stain and look fuchsia but they are not positive for acid fast.
What does a fatty acid look like?
Fatty acid is a generic term that covers (theoretically) an infinite number of different chemical compounds. For a start, there are saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Cooking oils, like olive oil, are mixtures of fatty acids, as are magarine, lard and candle wax.
What does unsaturated fatty acid look like?
It looks like an oil, somewhat like olive oil does. Adding hydrogen saturates the carbon to carbon bonds making it a solid.
Formula for fat?
Depends which fat, there are many different compounds that are considered fatty acids. All contain an even number of carbons and a carboxyllic acid terminus. There are also 3 categories for these fats, saturated fatty acids, MUFAs (mono-unsaturated fatty acids), and PUFAs (poly-unsaturated fatty acids). A small 16-chain fatty acid which is completely saturated would look like this: CH3(CH2)14COOH Or C16H32O2
