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!
Glucose contains six carbon atoms. Amino acids typically have a carbon backbone that consists of at least two to six carbon atoms, depending on the specific amino acid. Glycerol has three carbon atoms, while fatty acids vary in length but usually contain between 4 to 24 carbon atoms.
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!
There may be one double bond or many, up to six in important fatty acids.
