No double bonds. A saturated fat has hydrocarbon chains that are close together. An unsaturated fat contains double bonds in the hydrocarbon chains which makes a kink in the chain. This makes them sit farther apart and thus more liquid than saturated hydrocarbons.

Do fatty and glycerol both contain a carboxyl group?
No, only fatty acids do contain a carboxyl group -C(=O)(-OH) (they are alternatively called: carboxylic acids). Glycerol contains three hydroxylic groups -C(-OH), propane-1,2,3-triol
What type of fatty acids dose butter contain and how do you know?
Butter contains saturated fatty acids. We can know this because saturated fatty acids are solid at room temperature, and butter is solid at room temperature.
Are fatty acids with double bonds saturated or not?
Fatty acids containing double bonds are unsaturated fatty acids as they still contain sp2 carbon atoms within them.
What is true of all saturated fatty acids?
They contain no [unsaturated] C-C double bonds.
Unsaturated fatty acids that have changed to saturated fatty acids are called?
trans fat
What group of organic compounds contain fatty acids?
Fatty acids contain carboxyl groups. The functional group of fatty acids is -COOH. There are 2 types of fatty acids called saturated and non saturated.
Do fatty acid and glycerol both contain a carboxyl group?
No, only fatty acids contain carboxyl groups.
Fatty acids and amino acids both contain?
carboxyl group
What is the difference between a saturated and an unsaturated fatty acids?
Saturated fatty acid molecules have no carbon-carbon double bonds, and all of the remaining carbon bonds are shared by hydrogen atoms, except the one in the carboxyl group, at the beginning of the chain.Unsaturated fatty acid molecules also begin with the carboxyl group, but contain one or more carbon-carbon double bonds, and may contain one or more carbon atoms with a bonding electron that remains unassociated.
What What are made up of fatty acids?
Fatty acids are made of two things: hydrocarbon chainsand a carboxyl group.Fatty acids can be saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated, the difference lying in bonds found within a fatty acid. A saturated fatty acid contains a maximum number of hydrogen atoms in the hydrocarbon chains. A polyunsaturated fatty acid or monounsaturated fatty acid is one that does not contain all possible hydrogen atoms. Monounsaturated fatty acids contain one carbon-carbon double bond in their hydrocarbon chain. Polyunsaturated fatty acids contain more than one.
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.
Do fatty and glycerol both contain a carboxyl group?
No, only fatty acids do contain a carboxyl group -C(=O)(-OH) (they are alternatively called: carboxylic acids). Glycerol contains three hydroxylic groups -C(-OH), propane-1,2,3-triol
What type of fatty acids dose butter contain and how do you know?
Butter contains saturated fatty acids. We can know this because saturated fatty acids are solid at room temperature, and butter is solid at room temperature.
Are fatty acids with double bonds saturated or not?
Fatty acids containing double bonds are unsaturated fatty acids as they still contain sp2 carbon atoms within them.
What are names for saturated fatty acids?
Butter and lard are composed of saturated fatty acids.
Why do saturated fatty acids have straight structure while unsaturated fatty acids have bent structure?
saturated fatty acids contain more carbon atoms Saturated fatty acids have single carbon-to-carbon bonds.
Chemical that contain carbon and hydrogen are called?
Hydrocarbons
