Why do saturated fatty acids have straight structure while unsaturated fatty acids have bent structure?
saturated fatty acids contain more carbon atoms Saturated fatty acids have single carbon-to-carbon bonds.
What are VLCSFA?
very long chain saturated fatty acids
Why do saturated fatty acids have structures while unsaturated fatty acids have bent structures?
Because unsaturated fatty acids have many double bonds and the atoms cannot rotate freely around those double bonds. In the saturated fatty acids, there are no double bonds (only single bonds) and so the atoms are free to rotate.
What type of organisms make saturated fatty acids?
This has a good list of at least a few things that have saturated fatty acids. In addition to animals, there are plants that make saturated fats (eg. coconuts, cashews, cacao beans, and soybeans).
What are fatty acid chains with all single bonds between carbon and hydrogen?
Fatty acid chains with all single bonds are saturated fatty acids. All of the carbon atoms are saturated with hydrogen atoms.
Distinguish between saturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids?
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.
What are names for saturated fatty acids?

What is a distinguished characteristic of a saturated fatty acids?

What is the difference between a saturated an a unsaturated fatty acid?
Unsaturated fatty acids have double bond or triple bonds, whereas saturated fatty acids do not.
Saturated fatty acids are so named because they are saturated with?
The saturated fatty acids have only single bonds between atom carbons; the chain is saturated with hydrogen atoms.
What causes fatty acids to be saturated?
Answer
What statements is false about omega fatty acids?

What is a saturated of a fatty acid?

Are essential fatty acids polyunsaturated fatty acids?
Yes, and also monounsaturated fatty acids. The saturated fat is the bad fat.
