In unsaturated fats the fatty acid chain is missing some atoms of?
In unsaturated fats, the fatty acid chain is missing some atoms of hydrogen.
When a fatty acid has a double bond at the third carbon from the methyl end what type of fatty acid is it considered?
Any fatty acid that has one or more double bonds is considered unsaturated.
Is unsaturated fatty acid a lipid or carbhohydrate?
oils tend to be triglycerides ( ester groups with a fatty acid and glycerol as the alcohol ) that contain mono or poly unsaturated fatty acids. The less saturation of a fatty acid the higher the melting point of the compound and is thus less likely to be liquid at room temperature
What type of fatty acid has double bonds?
The two basic types of fatty acids are saturated and unsaturated. A fatty acid consists of a hydrocarbon chain and a carboxyl group: CH3(CH2)nCOOH Saturated fatty acids have only single bonds between the carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon chain ie the molecule is "saturated" with hydrogen atoms and no more can be added. Unsaturated fatty acids have one or more double bonds between the carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon chain. Fatty acids with a single double bond are called monounsaturated. Fatty acids with two or more double bonds are called polyunsaturated. See:http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/F/Fats.html
A fatty acid containing at least two double bonds is called?
It is called a Mono- unsaturated fatty acid. Unsaturated fatty acids have one or more double bonds between the Carbon atoms and here, sine the number of double bonds is one, we use the term "mono".
An unsaturated fatty acid differs from a saturated fatty acid in that the unsaturated fatty acid contains what?
double carbon carbon bonds
What causes an unsaturated fatty acid to have a different shape than an a saturated fatty acid?
Unsaturated fatty acids have double carbon bonds.
What causes an unsaturated fatty acid to have a different shape than an saturated fatty acid?
The double chain in the unsaturated fatty acid cause it to bent; unlike saturated fatty acid which has no double bond, is straight
What cause an unsaturated fatty acid to have a different shape than a saturated fatty acid?
The double chain in the unsaturated fatty acid cause it to bent; unlike saturated fatty acid which has no double bond, is straight
What type of fatty acid has a bend in its structure?
unsaturated
What is Tran?
an unsaturated fatty acid that has been changed to a saturated fatty acid
What causes an unsaturated fatty acid to have differ t shape than a satires fatty acid?
Unsaturated fatty acids have double carbon bonds.
What cause an unsaturated fatty acid to have a different shape than a saturated acid?
The double chain in the unsaturated fatty acid cause it to bent; unlike saturated fatty acid which has no double bond, is straight
In unsaturated fats the fatty acid chain is missing some atoms of?
In unsaturated fats, the fatty acid chain is missing some atoms of hydrogen.
What does a unsaturated fatty acid contain?
A fatty acid contains double bonding within its carbon
What causes an unsaturated fatty to have a different shape than a saturated fatty acid?
unsaturated fatty acids have a double carbon bonds APEX
Why do saturated fatty acid have straight structures while unsaturated fatty acid structure bend?
The bent structure in unsaturated fatty acids arises due to the presence of the double bonds.
