Fatty Acids
|
-Fatty acids are the basic building blocks for all lipids.
- founds in fats and oils, and are chemical "chains" consisting of carbon and hydrogen and ending with an acid group. -Fatty acids vary in length and degree of saturation, and are generally up to 26 carbons long -a carboxylic acid (or organic acid), often with a long aliphatic tail (long chains), either saturated or unsaturated. Most of the natural fatty acids have an even number of carbon atoms |
