We should take even numbered fatty acid because even numbered fatty acid can easily be oxidized through beta oxidation for energy production but to oxidize odd numbered fatty acid, some other enzymes are needed..... psyche....
All single bonds between the carbons produce a saturated fatty acid with a straight chain. Double bonds produce an unsaturated fatty acid with a bend in it. Unsaturated fatty acid in cell membranes do not pack so closely and the membrane is more fluid.
Break up the odd shape into even shapes and add the areas.
beta oxidation of fatty acids ocur only if the triacylglycerol molecule of the fatty acid is cleaved intu its component fatty acid and glycerol .the fatty acid b-oxdn is nw ready 2 proceed 1.thiokinase adds CO-A to FA 2.acyl CO-A dehydrogenase oxidises the fatty acid 3.enoyl CO hydrates adds water 4.b-hydroxy acyl CO-A dehyrase oxidises 5.tiolase adds CO-A and splits off acyl COA. DH to electron transport n chemiosmosis for each round PROVIDING *acyl CO to b oxidised in krebs cycle. *1FADH n NA
The only molecules that are soluble in water are those that are polar. Also, ionic compounds are soluble in water, but they are not true molecules. They are insoluble in water because they are composed primarily of long chains of hydrocarbons. Fatty acids consist of long, unbranched hydrocarbons with a carboxylic acid group at one end. The number of carbon atoms in a fatty acid molecule is usually even (6, 8, 12, 32, 36, etc.), although it is not impossible to find a fatty acid with an odd number of carbon atoms in its structure. While the long, hydrocarbon chain of the fatty acid continues to be strongly hydrophobic, the presence of the carboxylic acid group at one end of the molecule adds some hydrophilic properties. Small fatty acids such as propionic acid (with 3 carbon atoms) mixes with water readily, caproic acid (with 6 carbon atoms) is only 0.4 percent soluble in water. When fatty acids or other nonpolar molecules are put into water, the water repels them because there are no parts of the molecule that have charge, thus no attraction.
The IUPAC name would be 1-nonadecanoic acid. I am not aware of a common name for this. Naturally occuring "fatty" acids have even numbers of carbons, such as 1-octadecanoic acid with 18, and these have "common" names like stearic acid. Odd numbered long chain acids are synthetic and typically do not have common names.
Fatty acids are generally made using a complex called fatty acid synthase. This complex grabs a 3 carbon molecule in the first step (Malonyl-CoA) and adds to it a 2 carbon molecule (Acetyl-CoA). In this ajoinment, one carbon is lost as carbon dioxide, leaving a four carbon unit at the end of the first round. The fatty acid continues to grow by adding additional Malonyl-CoA molecules, sacrificing one carbon to join with the parent chain in each round. Therefore, the chain grows by two carbon units, giving us the plethora of even numbered fatty acids. Additional reactions are required to add odd numbered units to the chain, so the path of least resistance generates more even numbered chains than odd numbered chains in nature. When fatty acids are broken down by B-oxidation (most common), the chain degrades two carbons at a time.
They all do.
All you do is add up all the sides to find the perimeter even though it is a odd shape
