The name "Omega-3" indicates that the first double bond occurs on the third carbon atom from the end of the molecule or last position (i.e. the omega position, the last letter in Greek alphabet)
To find the place of the double bond, you would count to the third carbon atom from the 'end' carbon atom of the alkenoic acid (the unsaturated fatty acid). More complex unsaturated acid names would include, for example,
Omega-3,6,9-Octadecatrienoic acid (linolenic acid)
(see related link to a structural formula diagram of omega or alpha numbering of unsaturated fatty acids)
Fatty acids that cannot be prepared within an organism by any known chemical pathways; and therefore must be obtained from the diet and hence are called essential fatty acids. And the two essential fatty acids are;
1. Alpha linolenic acid (omega 3 fatty acid) and
2. Linoleic acid (omega 6 fatty acid).
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.
Dehydration of fatty acids
Three fatty acids attached to one glycerol molecule is called a triglyceride.
1 glycerol and 3 fatty acids so the monomers basically are glycerol and fatty acids
Yes, and also monounsaturated fatty acids. The saturated fat is the bad fat.
trans fat
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.
Acid are those which donates protons (H+). bronsted and lowry theory. amino acids and fatty acids produces protons that's why they are called Acids .
Only if it is organic grass fed beef. Most of that stuff you get from the feed lots has higher saturated fats and poor Omega3/Omega6 fatty acid ratios.
Dehydration of fatty acids
Fatty acids
it contains mostly unsaturated fatty acids it contains mostly unsaturated fatty acids
Simple sugar, amino acid, fatty acids, or fatty acids and glycerol
Fatty acids and glycerol
Three fatty acids attached to one glycerol molecule is called a triglyceride.

There is no difference between saturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids. If you meant saturated fatty acids and UNsaturated fatty acids, then the unsaturated ones are the ones with double (or, theoretically, triple) bonds in the carbon chain.
