They usually contain an even number of carbon atoms.

It depends on the fatty acid how many carbons there are. The number can range from 4 to 28.
Yes, the definition of a saturated fatty acid is that it has the maximum number of hydrogen atoms possible based upon the carbon backbone.
Yes! In all organic compounds carbons should be present!

Because unsaturated fatty acids have many double bonds and the atoms cannot rotate freely around those double bonds. In the saturated fatty acids, there are no double bonds (only single bonds) and so the atoms are free to rotate.
Yes, the definition of a saturated fatty acid is that it has the maximum number of hydrogen atoms possible based upon the carbon backbone.
Yes, fatty acids are considered saturated when they have all the hydrogen atoms it can hold.
Yes! In all organic compounds carbons should be present!
There are two main types of fatty acids found in the human body: saturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids. Unsaturated fatty acids can be further classified into monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
3 fatty acids!
Saturated fatty acids do not contain any double bonds. They have single bonds between all the carbon atoms in their hydrocarbon chain.
There may be one double bond or many, up to six in important fatty acids.
