Question

Saturated fatty acids have

• A. only one C-C single bond
• B. only one C=C double bone
• C. only C=C double bone
• D. only C-C single bond

Answer 1

The correct option is D only C-C single bond

Fatty acids are a type of lipids which have a carboxyl group attached to an R group. They could be saturated or unsaturated. Saturated fatty acids have only C-C single bond without any double or triple bond. Whereas, unsaturated fatty acids have one or more C=C double or C$\equiv$C triple bonds.
