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.
How many carbons might a long-chain fatty acid have?
18
How many carbons are contained in a medium-chain fatty acid?
18
The most common number of carbons in fatty acid hydrocarbon chains of membrane phospholipids?
The most common number of carbons in fatty acid hydrocarbon chains of membrane phospholipids is 16 or 18. These chain lengths are prevalent in phospholipids due to their stable and fluid properties, which are essential for maintaining membrane structure and function.
What is a fatty acid in which all carbons in the hydrocarbon tail are connected by single bonds?
phenotype
Suggest a reason that linoleic acid is classified as a polyunsaturated fatty acid and oleic acid is classified as a monounsaturated fatty acid?
Linoleic acid has more than one double bond in its carbon chain, making it polyunsaturated. Oleic acid has only one double bond, making it monounsaturated. The number of double bonds determines the classification of the fatty acid.
An essential omega 3 fatty acid with 18 carbons and 3 double bonds is called?
alpha-linoleic acid.
What is the organic compound composed of a carbon chain with hydrogens attached and an acid group at one end and a methyl group at the other?
If by 'acid group' you mean a carboxyl group (COOH), and by 'methyl group' you mean the carbon is right at the end, then it isn't really a methyl group, just a normal carboxylic acid2 carbons: Ethanoic Acid, CH3COOH3 carbons: Propanoic Acid, CH3CH2COOHIf the methyl group was in the middle. The number of carbons here includes the methyl group, but note the name of the chemical doesn't correspond to the total number, but by the longest chain possible.4 carbons: 2-Methylpropanoic Acid, CH3CH(CH3)COOH5 carbons: 2-Methylbutanoic Acid, CH3CH2CH(CH3)COOH3-Methylbutanoic Acid, CH3CH(CH3)CH2COOH
A fatty acid tail that contains all single bonds between carbons?
Saturated fat
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 is volatile fatty acid number?
No one fatty acid is volatile.
How many carbon atoms are in carbonic acid?
It depends on the fatty acid how many carbons there are. The number can range from 4 to 28.
