How many double bonds do saturated fatty acids have?
There may be one double bond or many, up to six in important fatty acids.
How many double bonds are in saturated fatty acid?
Saturated fatty acids do not contain any double bonds. They have single bonds between all the carbon atoms in their hydrocarbon chain.
How will carbon bonds affect the shape of fatty acids?
All single bonds between the carbons produce a saturated fatty acid with a straight chain. Double bonds produce an unsaturated fatty acid with a bend in it. Unsaturated fatty acid in cell membranes do not pack so closely and the membrane is more fluid.
How many double bonds in saturated fat acid?
Saturated fatty acids do not contain any double bonds. They have all single bonds between carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon chain.
How many in milligrams is 1 gram omega 3 fatty acid?
There are 1000 milligrams in 1 gram, so 1 gram of omega-3 fatty acid is equivalent to 1000 milligrams of omega-3 fatty acid.
How many carbons are contained in a medium-chain fatty acid?
18
How many carbons might a long-chain fatty acid have?
18
How many fatty acid chains do saturated fats have?
Saturated fats have no double bonds in their fatty acid chains, which means they have only single bonds. This results in a straight molecular structure with no kinks, making them solid at room temperature.
How many double bonds do saturated fatty acids have?
There may be one double bond or many, up to six in important fatty acids.
How many double bonds are in saturated fatty acid?
Saturated fatty acids do not contain any double bonds. They have single bonds between all the carbon atoms in their hydrocarbon chain.
A saturated fatty has has more or less hydrogen?
Yes, fatty acids are considered saturated when they have all the hydrogen atoms it can hold.
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
How many fatty acid molecules are needed to form a fat molecules?
3 fatty acids!
What element saturates the carbon chain of a fatty acid?
No particular element saturates a hydrocarbon such as fat. If a hydrocarbon is saturated it means that there are only single bonds in the structure and so for a chemical group to join on, it must replace an already attached group. This means that it is more difficult for the body to dispose of the substance as fewer things will react with it.
How will carbon bonds affect the shape of fatty acids?
All single bonds between the carbons produce a saturated fatty acid with a straight chain. Double bonds produce an unsaturated fatty acid with a bend in it. Unsaturated fatty acid in cell membranes do not pack so closely and the membrane is more fluid.
How many fatty acid chains does the membrane have?
one million
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'
