Fatty acids are carboxylic acids with ling aliphatic chain.
Lipids, Carbohydrates, Proteins, Nucleic acids
fatty acids are most closely related to lipids
All the families of organic compounds exist as a homologous series (A series having a difference of 'CH2' unit between two consecutive members) the main homologous series-es are Alkanes, Alkenes, Alcohols and Carboxylic acids (Fatty acids).

Of course, fatty acids are organic compounds and they can not exist without carbon.
Of course, fatty acids are organic compounds and they can not exist without carbon.
Fatty acids contain carboxyl groups. The functional group of fatty acids is -COOH. There are 2 types of fatty acids called saturated and non saturated.
Waxes are esters formed by condensing organic fatty acids and long-chain (fatty) alcohols. So they contain organic acids, but are not acids themselves.
Fatty acids are found in the compounds of lipids. The fatty acid lipid compounds can be found in both plants and animals.
Omega fatty acids are not saturated compounds.
Fats and oils are made up of long hydrocarbon chains, specifically glycerol's and fatty acids. Hydrocarbons are organic molecules, so a fat is organic in nature.

Lipids are organic compounds which are fatty acids and insoluble in water. Starches, meanwhile, are carbohydrates which are tasteless and odorless.
