An unsaturated fatty acid differs from a saturated fatty acid in that the unsaturated fatty acid contains what?
double carbon carbon bonds
What type of fatty acid has a bend in its structure?
unsaturated
Why do saturated fatty acid have straight structures while unsaturated fatty acid structure bend?
The bent structure in unsaturated fatty acids arises due to the presence of the double bonds.
Why is linolenic acid an unsaturated fatty acid?
Because fats are having double bond and triple bonds so they are known as unsaturated fatty acids.
Is a unsaturated fatty acid a carbohydrate?
No. It is what it says it is: a fatty acid. You are correct in that it has carbon but the structures of the two are different.
An unsaturated fatty acid differs from a saturated fatty acid in that the unsaturated fatty acid contains what?
double carbon carbon bonds
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 unsaturated fatty acid a lipid or carbhohydrate?
oils tend to be triglycerides ( ester groups with a fatty acid and glycerol as the alcohol ) that contain mono or poly unsaturated fatty acids. The less saturation of a fatty acid the higher the melting point of the compound and is thus less likely to be liquid at room temperature
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

What type of fatty acid has a bend in its structure?
unsaturated
What is Tran?
an unsaturated fatty acid that has been changed to a saturated fatty acid
What causes an unsaturated fatty acid to have differ t shape than a satires fatty acid?
Unsaturated fatty acids have double carbon bonds.

In unsaturated fats the fatty acid chain is missing some atoms of?
In unsaturated fats, the fatty acid chain is missing some atoms of hydrogen.
What causes an unsaturated fatty to have a different shape than a saturated fatty acid?
unsaturated fatty acids have a double carbon bonds APEX
Why do saturated fatty acid have straight structures while unsaturated fatty acid structure bend?
The bent structure in unsaturated fatty acids arises due to the presence of the double bonds.
