Both have, carbon and hydrogen and carbon-carbon sigma bonds.


Why do saturated fatty acids have straight structures while unsaturated fatty acids acids bent structures?

Saturated fatty acids have single carbon-to-carbon bonds (which tend to act like a rigid pole) while unsaturated fatty acids have double carbon-to-carbon bonds (which can act like hinges making the molecule flexible).

What has more potential energy carbon dioxide carbohydrates or fatty acids?

Fatty acids have more potential energy than both carbon dioxide and carbohydrates. This is because fatty acids contain more carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds, which store more energy per molecule. When broken down in the body, fatty acids release more energy than either carbon dioxide or carbohydrates.

Distinguish between saturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids?

There is no difference between saturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids. If you meant saturated fatty acids and UNsaturated fatty acids, then the unsaturated ones are the ones with double (or, theoretically, triple) bonds in the carbon chain.
