Fish is an excellent source, with the highest concentration existing in herring, sardines, and salmon. Additionally, perilla, Chia seed, and flax have very high concentrations of omega-3.

Which acid is present in fats?

fatty acid. there r 2 types namelysaturated : Lauric, Palmitic, Stearicunsaturated fatty acid: Oleic, Linoleic Linolenic, Arachi- donic


Term describing a fatty acid with 2 or more double bonds between carbon?

The term Lipid is used to describe a fatty acid with 2 or more double bonds between carbon. Oils are a necessary nutrient for health but many people over indulge in them.


What is the function of a fatty acid?

soap oleate....... Fatty acids are the bi products of amino acids. From http://dl.clackamas.cc.or.us/ch106-04/triester.htm "A soap essentially is a fatty acid salt. Usually it is the sodium salt of a fatty acid; sometimes the potassium salt. In either case, they are usually made from the hydrolysis of a fat of some kind to form glycerol and the fatty acid. The addition of the base causes the fatty acid to be converted to the salt of the fatty acid. Then after that has happened, more sodium ion is added (usually in the form of NaCl) to precipitate out the fatty acid salt."


What is the acid present in curd?

The lactic acid is present; also fatty acids and aminoacids.


What is the products of the saponification of tripalmitin?

Tripalmitin is a 16 carbon saturated fatty acid. Saponification is a reaction involving a strong base (ex: NaOH) and a fatty acid. The reaction yields a glycerol and 3 fatty acid salts. Therefore the reaction products are: glycerol: CH2(OH)--CH(OH)--CH2(OH) + 3 fatty acid salts: CH3--(CH2)14--COO(-) Na(+) + 3H2O Above is actually a summary of what is in reality a 2-step reaction: the fatty acid reacts with H2O first to yield a glycerol and 3 fatty acids; the fatty acids subsequently reacts with the alkaline (base) (NaOH) to yield 3 fatty acid salts and H2O

What are the simplest whole number ratio for each of the above fatty acids?

To determine the simplest whole number ratios for fatty acids, one must first identify the number of carbon and hydrogen atoms in each fatty acid's molecular structure. For example, in the case of palmitic acid (C16H32O2), the ratio of carbon to hydrogen is 1:2 (16:32 simplifies to 1:2). Similarly, for oleic acid (C18H34O2), the ratio is also 1:2 (18:34 simplifies to 1:2). Each fatty acid will have its own specific ratio based on its molecular formula.


What molecules with two fatty acid chains and a phosphate group that form biological membranes?

Phospholipids, such as phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine, are molecules with two fatty acid chains and a phosphate group that are essential components of biological membranes. They have a hydrophilic head (containing the phosphate group) and hydrophobic tails (the fatty acid chains), allowing them to form the lipid bilayer structure of cell membranes.
