What causes an unsaturated fatty to have a different shape than a saturated fatty acid?
unsaturated fatty acids have a double carbon bonds APEX
What causes an unsaturated fatty acid to have a different shape than an a saturated fatty acid?
Unsaturated fatty acids have double carbon bonds.
What causes an unsaturated fatty acid to have a different shape than an saturated fatty acid?
The double chain in the unsaturated fatty acid cause it to bent; unlike saturated fatty acid which has no double bond, is straight

What causes an unsaturated fatty acids to have a different shape than a saturated fatty acid?
A saturated fatty acid chain is composed of a carbon chain with only single covalent bonds. This creates a tetrahedral geometry of the atoms. An unsaturated fatty acid chain is composed of a carbon chain with one or more double covalent bonds. This creates a trigonal geometry of the atoms at the double covalent bond.
What causes unsaturated fatty acid to have different shape than saturated fats?
The double bonds in unsaturated fatty acids restrict movement. They are more "kinked" upand do not pack as tightly. Saturated fatty acids have more freedom of movement and tend to pack together better. It takes more energy(higher temperature) to separate more tightly packed molecules.
Which factor causes the shape of a fatty acid to be bent?
Having double covalent bonds in the carbon chain.
What causes an unsaturated fatty acid to have differ t shape than a satires fatty acid?
Unsaturated fatty acids have double carbon bonds.
How the shape of the stearidonic acid model is different from the shape of the model of stearic acid?
stearidonic acids is multi-salted and steanic acid is fully saturated
Triglycerides can be classified by which of the following characteristics?
the length of the fatty acidsthe saturation of the fatty acidsthe shape of the fatty acids
