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.
Why there is a bend in fatty acid tail of the phospholipid molecule?
Due to presence of double bond in tail .
Fatty acids containing at least one double or triple covalent bond is called?
These fatty acids are called saturated fats. These are often some of the worst fats for the body.
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
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.
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
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
What describes a fatty acid that has one double bond?
saturated fat
What type of bond makes a saturated fat into an unsaturated fat?
An unsaturated fat is a fat or fatty acid in which there is at least one double bond within the fatty acid chain.Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds between the carbon atoms of the fatty acid chain and are thus fully saturated with hydrogen atoms.(Wikipedia)
