Which fatty acids do not contain double bond between carbon atoms?
Which fatty acids do not contain double bond between carbon atoms?
Options
- AUnsaturated fatty acids
- BSaturated fatty acids
- COleic acid
- DLinoleic acid
Correct answer
B. Saturated fatty acids
Step-by-step solution
Saturated fatty acids are those fatty acids which do not contain any double bond between carbon atoms in their hydrocarbon chain.
Unsaturated fatty acids contain one or more double bonds between carbon atoms.
Oleic acid is a monounsaturated fatty acid with one double bond.
Linoleic acid is a polyunsaturated fatty acid with two double bonds.
Thus, saturated fatty acids do not contain double bonds.
