saturated hydrocarbons
saturated.....jeez
saturation (:
a saturated fatty acid
salt
In a saturated fat, yes. Monounsaturated fat has a double bond. Polyunsaturated fats have multiple double bonds.
If the compounds only contain carbon and hydrogen, they are called alkanes.
Molecule to another carbon- none! Carbon carbon bonds can be single double or triple
The bond is covalent; the meaning of saturated is a single bond between carbon atoms (C-C).
It is called a saturated hydrocarbon or an alkane.
Saturated lipids have all single bonds between carbon atoms, while unsaturated lipids have at least one double bond. This impacts their structure by making saturated lipids solid at room temperature and unsaturated lipids liquid. Saturated lipids are linked to heart disease, while unsaturated lipids are considered healthier for the heart.
The acid group found in lipids is called a carboxyl group, which consists of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom and single-bonded to a hydroxyl group (OH).
Any lipid that is hydrogenated. Having single carbon carbon bonds lets all the hydrogen bond and allows the lipid to remain a solid at room temperature.
