Fatty acids become deficient in the body
Omega-6 essential fatty acids including gamma linolenic acid.
What does EFA mean? I belive EFA stands for essential fatty acids. Which are Omega 3 and Omega 6. You can find such things in fish or through tablets i.e Cod liver oil tablets
This is because some polar atoms form long chains causing the overall polarity of the molecule to be non-polar. Such is the case with soaps which contain essentailly polar fatty acids but due to the formation of chains the molecules are non-polar. Hope that helps :) Graham Duncan
because its as big as you fatty
acetic acid
Fatty acids with double bonds are unsaturated because they do not contain the maximum number of hydrogen atoms bound to the carbon chain. Saturated fatty acids have single bonds only.
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.
unsaturated fats.
There is no difference between saturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids. If you meant saturated fatty acids and UNsaturated fatty acids, then the unsaturated ones are the ones with double (or, theoretically, triple) bonds in the carbon chain.
Hydrogenated fatty acids.
Unsaturated fatty acids are fatty acids that have double bonds in their long carbon chains.
Yes, fatty acids contain hydrogen atoms attached to carbon atoms in their hydrocarbon chain. The number and arrangement of these hydrogen atoms determine the type of fatty acid.
Fatty acids are nonpolar.
They have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms.
Mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
They usually contain an even number of carbon atoms.
