Does bacteria change the kind of fatty acid they produce as temperature drop?
Yes, bacteria can make lipids with short or long fatty acid tails depending on the temperature. Longer tails mean more van der waals interactions which restricts movement so when temperature drops they have an enzyme that cuts the length of the tails to increase fluidity. Other bacteria can make more unsaturated tails that have a double bond which causes a kink in the fatty acid, the unsaturated lipids can't pack together as tight which again increase fluidity in the membrane.
What are the two parts of a fatty acid?
If you mean triglycerides which is the fat most people talk about then its glycerol and fatty acids.
What do you mean by 'tfm' printed on soap covers?
Total Fatty Matter (TFM) is one of the most important characteristics describing the quality of soap and it is always specified in commercial transactions. It is defined as the total amount of fatty matter, mostly fatty acids, that can be separated from a sample after splitting with mineral acid, usually hydrochloric acid.[wiki]
Effect of double bond in fatty acids to its melting point?
double bonds mean the fatty acid is unsaturated and kinky which makes its packing difficult in the phospholipid bilayer and hence this drop the melting point
What does the term 'polyunsaturated' on a margarine container mean?
It means that this margarine contains (one or more) types of polyunsaturated fats.Polyunsaturated fats are triglycerides in which the hydrocarbon tails constitutes polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) (fatty acids possessing more than a single carbon-carbon double bond)."Unsaturated" refers to the fact that the molecules contain less than the maximum amount of hydrogen. These materials exist as cis or trans isomers depending on the geometry of the double bond. 'Cis-bond' fats are more healthy than trans-fats.Some types of PUFA's:Omega-3,6 fatty acidOmega-3, 6, 9 fatty acidConjugated linoleic acid

What is the most common polyunsaturated fatty acid in foods?
Do you mean which food has the highest polyunsaturated fatty acid? If so, then nuts. Then seeds.

Can tails fly?
If you mean tails from sonic then yes.
Is tails 8?
If you mean Tails from Sonic the Hedgehog, then YES!!!!

What does the medical abbreviation GLA mean?
GLA, an omega-6 fatty acid, stands for gamma linoleic acid and is found mostly in plant based oils such as evening primrose oil, blackcurrant seed, and other foods.
How are hydrocarbon fatty acids classified depending upon their nature?
Fatty acids are NOT hydrocarbons. Fatty acids are carboxylic acids containing the functional group -COOH. Hydrocarbons contain only carbon and hydrogen. It is absolutely crucial in all branches of chemistry to know exactly what the words mean and to use them precisely. Carboxylic acids have the general formula RCOOH, where the R is nearly always made of carbon and hydrogen. There are several ways to classify them, but the one met most frequently looks at the saturation of the R- group. If there are no double bonds it is saturated, one double bond makes it mono-unsaturated, and many double bonds make it polyunsaturated.
What does chloroplasm mean?
I suspect you mean chloroplast. These are the parts of plant cells that do photosynthesis, most fatty acid synthesis and some immune response. For more information please see the chloroplast wikipedia article.
Is evil tails completely evil?
I don't know what you mean by 'evil tails'. If you mean Tails when he got hypnotized in Sonic Colors, then no, he was being evil against his own will.
