a saturated fatty acid
saturation
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.
The type of chemical bonds for lipids are nonpolar C-H bonds. The actual bonds that attach the fatty acids to the glycerol are refered to as ester linkages
Each carbon atom in a lipid's fatty acid chain is joined to another carbon atom by a single bond. This is because all carbon atoms have two hydrogen atoms (the maximum possible) linked to each of them. since all the possible hydrogen positions are fulfilled it is termed saturated. If two adjacent carbons lose one hydrogen each the bonds that lost the hydrogen atoms would join together and form an extra bond between the two atoms. Since there is now a possibility to put back two hydrogen atoms, these positions are not filled and so the fat is un-saturated. Saturate=completely fill with no room for more
Carboxyl group
LDL (low density lipids) is a mixture of several lipids so it can not be represented by a single formula.
saturated hydrocarbons
saturated.....jeez
saturation (:
salt
If the compounds only contain carbon and hydrogen, they are called alkanes.
In a saturated fat, yes. Monounsaturated fat has a double bond. Polyunsaturated fats have multiple double bonds.
Saturated
Molecule to another carbon- none! Carbon carbon bonds can be single double or triple
such a hydrocarbon is a saturated compound.
The bond is covalent; the meaning of saturated is a single bond between carbon atoms (C-C).
