The process of degradation converts an aliphatic compound into a set of activated acetyl units (acetyl CoA) that can be processed by the citric acid cycle.
- Such an activated fatty acid undergoes oxidation and a double bond is introduced.
- This double bond is hydrated to bring in oxygen.
- The alcohol thus formed is oxidized to a ketone.
- Finally the four carbon fragment is cleaved by coenzyme A to yield acetyl CoA and a fatty acid chain which is two carbons shorter.

What is volatile fatty acid number?
No one fatty acid is volatile.
Which part of the cell membrane prevent organisms from dissolving in water?

Is hydrochloric acid a fatty acid?
No, hydrochloric acid is not a fatty acid.It is a mineral acid. A fatty acid is that acid which has carboxyllic group attached to a long aliphatic chain. The aliphatic chain may or may not be saturated.
Is fatty acid a polymer?
Fatty acids are not polymers.
What causes an unsaturated fatty acid to have a different shape than an a saturated fatty acid?
Unsaturated fatty acids have double carbon bonds.
Is olive oil an essential fatty acid?

What is the difference between a hydrocarbon and a fatty acid?
The difference between a hydrocarbon and a fatty acid is that a fatty acid is a hydrocarbon chain with a carboxylic acid head.

What is the balanced equation for fatty acid and sodium hydroxide?
The balanced equation for the reaction between a fatty acid (such as oleic acid) and sodium hydroxide is: Fatty acid + Sodium hydroxide -> Soap (sodium salt of the fatty acid) + Water
Is a maltose a simple fatty acid?
Maltose is a sugar or carbohydrate and not a fatty acid (carboxylic acid)
Is oil a fatty acid?

Is a sodium fatty acid salt the same as a carboxylic acid salt?
Yes, a sodium fatty acid salt is a type of carboxylic acid salt. Fatty acids are carboxylic acids with long hydrocarbon chains, and when they react with a base like sodium hydroxide, they form carboxylic acid salts such as sodium fatty acid salts.
What cause an unsaturated fatty acid to have a different shape than a saturated fatty acid?
The double chain in the unsaturated fatty acid cause it to bent; unlike saturated fatty acid which has no double bond, is straight
What causes an unsaturated fatty acid to have a different shape than an saturated fatty acid?
The double chain in the unsaturated fatty acid cause it to bent; unlike saturated fatty acid which has no double bond, is straight
