It is called a Mono- unsaturated fatty acid.
Unsaturated fatty acids have one or more double bonds between the Carbon atoms and here, sine the number of double bonds is one, we use the term "mono".
What else can I help you with?
A fatty acid that contains a chain of 10 carbons and one double bond is termed a?
A fatty acid that contains a chain of 10 carbons and one double bond is termed monounsaturated, medium chain fatty acid. The process of adding hydrogen too an unsaturated fatty acid and creating a more solid fat is called hydrogenation.
What describes a fatty acid that has one double bond?
A fatty acid with one double bond is called a monounsaturated fatty acid. This double bond creates a kink in the fatty acid chain, affecting its physical properties such as melting point and fluidity. Common examples include oleic acid found in olive oil and palmitoleic acid found in macadamia nuts.
If you isolate a fatty acid with one double bond you know the fatty acid is a?
A monounsaturated fat
What typre of bond is oleic acid?
Oleic acid is a type of fatty acid that contains a C-C double bond, making it a monounsaturated fatty acid.
Fatty acids containing at least one double or triple covalent bond is called?
Monounsaturated fatty acid = ONE double or triple covalent bond Polyunsaturated fatty acid = TWO OR MORE double and/or triple covalent bonds.
What cause an unsaturated fatty acid to have a different shape than a 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 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 is it when a lipids fatty acid contain more than one double bond?
That would be called polyunsaturated.
Why is oleic acid not classified as a saturated fatty acid?
Oleic acid has one double bond in its carbon chain, making it a monounsaturated fatty acid. Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds in their carbon chain, which is why oleic acid is not classified as saturated.
What type of fatty acid has double bonds?
The two basic types of fatty acids are saturated and unsaturated. A fatty acid consists of a hydrocarbon chain and a carboxyl group: CH3(CH2)nCOOH Saturated fatty acids have only single bonds between the carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon chain ie the molecule is "saturated" with hydrogen atoms and no more can be added. Unsaturated fatty acids have one or more double bonds between the carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon chain. Fatty acids with a single double bond are called monounsaturated. Fatty acids with two or more double bonds are called polyunsaturated. See:http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/F/Fats.html
What cause an unsaturated fatty acid to have a different shape than a saturated 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 is meant by single or a double bond in fatty acid?
fatty acids containig single bond contains more hydrogens and are saturated and fatty acids containing double bond are unsaturated and have less hydrogen then single bond containig fatty acids
