How many carbon atoms do all fatty acids have?
They usually contain an even number of carbon atoms.
How many oxygen atoms are in glutamine amino acids?
3
How many hydrogen atoms in unsaturated fatty acids?
Yes, the definition of a saturated fatty acid is that it has the maximum number of hydrogen atoms possible based upon the carbon backbone.
How many carbon atoms are in a fatty acid molecule?
Yes! In all organic compounds carbons should be present!
How many carbon atoms are in carbonic acid?
It depends on the fatty acid how many carbons there are. The number can range from 4 to 28.
Are there twice as many hydrogen atoms as oxygen atoms in fatty acids?
no
How many carbon atoms do all fatty acids have?
They usually contain an even number of carbon atoms.
Why do saturated fatty acids have structures while unsaturated fatty acids have bent structures?
Because unsaturated fatty acids have many double bonds and the atoms cannot rotate freely around those double bonds. In the saturated fatty acids, there are no double bonds (only single bonds) and so the atoms are free to rotate.

How many fatty acids molecule are needed to form a fat molecule?
3 fatty acids!
How many double bonds do saturated fatty acids have?
There may be one double bond or many, up to six in important fatty acids.
What molecules are made up of glycerol and fatty acids?
Lipid
What is the chemical difference in saturated and unsaturated fats?
Fat is actually not a compound, it is a mixture of many esterified acids called 'fatty acids'. But it is basically a triglyceride, a triester of Glycerol (C3H5(OH)3) with fatty acids (R):CH2ORCHOR'CH2ORThe symbol R represents 'aliphatic carboxyl groups' with linear, even numbered, alkane chains.General formula -C(O)-(CH2)2n-CH3 with n=0,1,2,3....Some examples of possible fatty acids (esterified, all very common in fat)Stearate (from stearic acid): -C(O)-(CH2)16-CH3 with n=8, so 'octadecanoate'
How many fatty acid molecules are needed to form a fat molecules?
3 fatty acids!
