When a fatty acid has a double bond at the third carbon from the methyl end what type of fatty acid is it considered?
Any fatty acid that has one or more double bonds is considered unsaturated.
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.
Fatty acids with room for four or more hydrogen atoms?
A monounsaturated fatty acid or MUFA
A fatty acid that contains a chain of 10 carbons and one double bond is termed a?
A fatty acid that contains a chain of 10 carbons and one double bond is termed monounsaturated, medium chain fatty acid. The process of adding hydrogen too an unsaturated fatty acid and creating a more solid fat is called hydrogenation.
If one fatty acid is more saturated than another fatty acid of equal chain length it has?
It has more hydrogen atoms and fewer double bonds between carbon atoms.
What is transfats?
The term trans fat generally refers to a fat that contains one or more trans fatty acid groups.fers to a fat that contains one or more trans fatty acid groups
Drug name for Omega-3 fatty acid?
Omega-3 fatty acids are a family of n-3 fatty acids and therefore not a drug or chemical. There is no more specific a name for this group of fatty acids than omega-3. Three fatty acids in this group that are of nutritional significance in the human diet are: α-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
define saturated fatty acid?
A fatty acid as stearic acid , whose carbon chain contains no unsaturated linkages between carbon atoms and hence cannot incorporate any more hydrogen atoms.
Are fatty acids polymers or monomers?
Fatty acids are linear hydrocarbon polymers terminated at one end by an acid group.The shortest possible "fatty acid" (i.e. a 0 length polymer chain: with just a single methyl group terminated by an acid group) is more commonly known as acetic acid, the acid in common vinegar.
Fatty acid that has room for 4 or more hydrogen atoms?
Polyunsaturated fats.
What fatty acid has room for four or more hydrogen atoms?
Polyunsaturated fats
What do you call the combination of 3 fatty acid?
