How many carbons are in each unit-glucose-amino acids-glycerol-fatty acids?
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.
How many hydrogen atoms in unsaturated fatty acids?
Yes, the definition of a saturated fatty acid is that it has the maximum number of hydrogen atoms possible based upon the carbon backbone.
How many carbon atoms are in carbonic acid?
It depends on the fatty acid how many carbons there are. The number can range from 4 to 28.
How many Atoms of oxygen are in fatty acids?
6
Do saturated fatty acids have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms?
It depends on the length of the fatty acid chain. A fatty acid that has the maximum number of hydrogen atoms is saturated. The maximum number of hydrogen atoms will occur when the carbon atoms are all single-bonded to one another (no double bonds).

Do saturated fatty acids have a higher ratio of hydrogen to carbon than do unsaturated fatty acids?
Saturated means that a chemical compound has as many Hydrogens on each Carbon that "it can handle". Unsaturated means that there are places containing double bonds, triple bonds, etc., between the carbons resulting in the compound having less Hydrogens as it could have maximally. Usually all fatty acids have 1 or 2 degrees of unsaturation in their long carbon tails, usually in the form of double bonds.
A saturated fatty has has more or less hydrogen?
Yes, fatty acids are considered saturated when they have all the hydrogen atoms it can hold.
How many carbon atoms are in carbonic acid?
It depends on the fatty acid how many carbons there are. The number can range from 4 to 28.
Are there twice as many hydrogen atoms as oxygen atoms in fatty acids?
no
How many double bonds do saturated fatty acids have?
There may be one double bond or many, up to six in important fatty acids.
How many Atoms of oxygen are in fatty acids?
6
Do saturated fatty acids have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms?
It depends on the length of the fatty acid chain. A fatty acid that has the maximum number of hydrogen atoms is saturated. The maximum number of hydrogen atoms will occur when the carbon atoms are all single-bonded to one another (no double bonds).
Why do saturated fatty acids have structures while unsaturated fatty acids have bent structures?
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.
How many double bonds are in saturated fatty acid?
Saturated fatty acids do not contain any double bonds. They have single bonds between all the carbon atoms in their hydrocarbon chain.
How many carbons atoms in a completed lipid?
It varies depending on the type of lipid, but most lipids contain around 12-24 carbon atoms. Lipids are made up of fatty acids, which are long chains of carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms.
