What are unsaturated fatty acids?

Unsaturated fatty acids are fatty acids that have double bonds in their long carbon chains.


Are fatty acids saturated or unsaturated?

Fatty acids can be either saturated or unsaturated. Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds between carbon atoms, while unsaturated fatty acids have one or more double bonds.


Do unsaturated fatty acids have double bonds in their chemical structure?

Yes, unsaturated fatty acids have double bonds in their chemical structure.


What determines whether a fatty acid is saturated or unsaturated?

The presence of double bonds in the carbon chain of a fatty acid determines whether it is saturated or unsaturated. Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds, while unsaturated fatty acids have one or more double bonds.


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.


Are fatty acids with double bonds saturated or not?

Fatty acids containing double bonds are unsaturated fatty acids as they still contain sp2 carbon atoms within them.


What causes an unsaturated fatty acid to have differ t shape than a satires fatty acid?

Unsaturated fatty acids have double carbon bonds.


What is the main difference between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids?

The main difference between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids is the presence of double bonds in unsaturated fatty acids. Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds in their carbon chains, while unsaturated fatty acids have one or more double bonds. This structural difference affects their physical properties and health implications.

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 causes an unsaturated fatty acid to have a different shape than an a saturated fatty acid?

Unsaturated fatty acids have double carbon bonds.
