they are long strains of hydrocarbons
if the contain double bond it makes them unsaturated
and it may cause some differences in physical properties

∙ 12y agoLess hydrogen means stronger bond between carbons. Since carbon is heavier than hydrogen, therfore two carbons are heavier than one carbon plus one hydrogen. Unsaturated fat is lesser in hydrogen and therefore is heavier than saturated. For example butter is saturated floats on top of ccoking oil (unsaturated).

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 is a neutral group of atoms held together by a covalent bond?
covalent bond
How many fatty acids are attached to glycerol molecule in a triacylglycerol?
Lipid monomers have 2 parts- two or three fatty acids bond to one glycerol
Is C10H8 an ionic or a covalent bond?
Yes that is the chemical eqation for sugar and it is a covalent bond. Yes that is the chemical eqation for sugar and it is a covalent bond.
Are unsaturated fatty acids more good for are body than saturated fatty acids?
In general, yes. This is because the unsaturated fatty acids have a double covalent bond in the fatty acid chain "tails", which do not stack neatly when put into the membranes of the cells. To correct this unbalanced stacking, the cell adds a molecule of cholesterol as a "shim" to the cell membrane to make it more stable. This pulls cholesterol out of the circulating blood, which then reduces the risk of heart disease.
What molecule from proteins when linked together with covalent bond?
Amino acids
What molecule forms proteins when linked together with a covalent bond?
Amino Acids

What are the three molecules attached to the glycerole molecule?
fatty acids
Why hydrogen gas molecule is non polar?
The bond in the molecule is covalent.
How many fatty acids are attached to glycerol molecule in a triacylglycerol?
Lipid monomers have 2 parts- two or three fatty acids bond to one glycerol
What is a neutral group of atoms held together by a covalent bond?
covalent bond
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

Is oxygen molecule a covalent bond?
yes oxygen molecule is covalent
What type of bond is benzoic acid?
Carboxylic Acids are polar therefore benzoic acid is a polar molecule.
