Drug name for Omega-3 fatty acid?
Omega-3 fatty acids are a family of n-3 fatty acids and therefore not a drug or chemical. There is no more specific a name for this group of fatty acids than omega-3. Three fatty acids in this group that are of nutritional significance in the human diet are: α-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
What is the other name of vitamin f?
Essential Fatty Acids
What is the scientific and common name of fat?
fatty acids or glycerol
What is a name of the molecule glycerol fatty acids?
If 1 of the glycerol's OH groups is attached to a fatty acid it is a monoglyceride. If it is 2 or 3 then it is a di or triglyceride respectively. If there are 3 fatty acids and one gycleride, then the substance is namely a lipid.
Is a fatty acid inorganic?
NO!!!! 'Fatty Acid' is the archaic name for carboxylic acids. e.g. Formic Acid now Methanoic acid, and Acetic Acid now Ethanoic acid.
What us the name of the form of fatty acids in naturally occurring fats is generally called what?
Saturated
What are triglycerides and what kind of fatty acid is this?
Triglycerides are a type of fatty acid that aid in the bodily processes of the liver. They are composed of one glycerol and three fatty acids, hence the name, tri-glycerides.
What is omega three?
"omega-3" (also written ω-3) is the name of a family of fatty acids. Fats and oils in human diet are compounds of fatty acids, and the omega-3 fatty acids form one group. We humans cannot make them in the body, but if there are some in our diet we can make others from them. Several health benefits have been claimed for fats containing omega-3 fatty acids. In particular, there is good evidence that they reduce heart attack risk factors.

Is olive oil a long chain hydrocarbon?
olive oilYes it is a hydrocarbon, like all organic materials, but it isn't a carbohydrate :) It's pure fat, like all oils.Olive OilOlive oil is a triacylgylceride: three fatty acids attached to a glycerol backbone. Technically it is a type of glycerolipid. Triacylglycerols(Triglycerides or Fats) are the major energy reserve for plants and animals.Fatty Acids:Olive Oil is a complex compound made of fatty acids, vitamins, volatile components, water soluble components and microscopic bits of olive. Primary fatty acids are Oleic and linoleic acid with a small amount of linolenic acid.A fatty acid has the general formula: CH3(CH2)nCOOH where n is typically an even number between 12 and 22If no double bonds are present the molecule is called a saturated fatty acid.If a chain contains double bonds, it is called an unsaturated fatty acid.A single double bond makes a monounsaturated fatty acidOils with more that one double bond are called polyunsaturated fatty acids.Oleic acid is monounsaturated and makes up 55-85% of olive oil (C17H35COOH) or CH3-(CH2)7-CH=CH-(CH2)7-COOH also known as oleate.The IUPAC name would be cis-9-octadecenoateLinoleic is polyunsaturated and makes up about 9% (C17H29COOH) or CH3-(CH2)4-CH=CH-CH2-CH=CH-(CH2)7-COOHLinolenic, which is polyunsaturated, makes up 0-1.5%
