What is the total number of carbons in one fatty acid?
Natural fatty acids contain 10 and onwards even no of carbon atoms.
How many fatty acids and glycerol do triglycerides contain?
The triglyceride molecule consists of three lipids bonded one each to the three Carbons of glycerol.
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.
Why do oils contain fatty acids?
because your a fatty
Formula for fat?
Depends which fat, there are many different compounds that are considered fatty acids. All contain an even number of carbons and a carboxyllic acid terminus. There are also 3 categories for these fats, saturated fatty acids, MUFAs (mono-unsaturated fatty acids), and PUFAs (poly-unsaturated fatty acids). A small 16-chain fatty acid which is completely saturated would look like this: CH3(CH2)14COOH Or C16H32O2
Is it true that Saturated fats are composed of fatty acids with several double bonded carbons?
No, saturated fats are composed of fatty acids with no double bonds between carbons. This means the carbon atoms are "saturated" with hydrogen atoms. Unsaturated fats, on the other hand, have one or more double bonds between carbons.
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 group of organic compounds contain fatty acids?
Lipids are the group of organic compounds that contain fatty acids. Lipids include fats, oils, phospholipids, and steroids, and they play important roles in energy storage, cell structure, and signaling in living organisms.
Do fatty acids have nitrogen?
No. Fatty acids are made of Carbon, Oxygen and Hydrogen.
Fatty acids with double bonds between carbons are described to be?
Unsaturated fatty acids. These double bonds can be either monounsaturated (one double bond) or polyunsaturated (multiple double bonds). They are typically liquid at room temperature and are considered healthier fats compared to saturated fats.
What type of biological compounds contain fatty acids?
Fatty acids are found in the compounds of lipids. The fatty acid lipid compounds can be found in both plants and animals.
What do fatty acids and amino acids always contain?
Carbon,Hydrogen,Oxygen
