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.
An omega-3 fatty acid has its first double bond on the?
The first double bond is between the third and fourth carbons from the methyl (CH3) end of the fatty acid molecule.
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
An unsaturated fatty acid has less than the maximum number of hydrogen atoms at the location of the double bond and are liquid at room temperature.True or false?
false
What are producing more ATP in between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids?
In saturated fatty acid oxidation, the first step is a dehydrogenase reaction. This yields a trans double bond on carbons 2 and 3 from the CoA end. A product of the reaction is FADH2 which can be used to make ATP. In oxidation of an unsaturated fatty acid, the double bond is not recognized by the dehydrogenase reaction therefore you have to use a secondary isomeration reaction to produce the same product as you did in saturated fatty acid oxidation. This skips the effective "first step" and does not produce FADH2 meaning less ATP is produce.
If you isolate a fatty acid with one double bond you know the fatty acid is a?
A monounsaturated fat
What term describes the presence of a double bond in the hydrocarbon portion of this molecule?
monounsaturated fatty acid who's got Maria Viscomi?
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 is meant by single or a double bond in fatty acid?
fatty acids containig single bond contains more hydrogens and are saturated and fatty acids containing double bond are unsaturated and have less hydrogen then single bond containig fatty acids
An omega-3 fatty acid has its first double bond on the?
The first double bond is between the third and fourth carbons from the methyl (CH3) end of the fatty acid molecule.
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.
Why is linolenic acid an unsaturated fatty acid?
Because fats are having double bond and triple bonds so they are known as unsaturated fatty acids.
What causes unsaturated fatty acids to have a different shape than saturated fatty acids?
The double chain in the unsaturated fatty acid cause it to bent; unlike saturated fatty acid which has no double bond, is straight
