The most common number of carbons in fatty acid hydrocarbon chains of membrane phospholipids?
19
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.
Why is oleic acid not classified as a saturated fatty acid?
because it is a monounsaturated fatty acid... it has one double bond between carbons 9 and 10.
How many carbons are contained in a medium-chain fatty acid?
18
How many carbons might a long-chain fatty acid have?
18
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.
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 is a polyunsaturated fat because its chain of carbons has 3 double bonds. Oleic acid is a monounsaturated fat because its chain of carbons has one double bond.
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
What is a fatty acid in which all carbons in the hydrocarbon tail are connected by single bonds?
phenotype
An essential omega 3 fatty acid with 18 carbons and 3 double bonds is called?
alpha-linoleic acid.
A fatty acid tail that contains all single bonds between carbons?
Saturated fat
What are fats called at room temperature when they are solid?
the presence of double boned carbons in fatty acid hydrocarbon chains and the degree of packing of fatty acid chains.
