Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A polyunsaturated fatty acid has two or more double bonds between carbons in the hydrocarbon chain. Saturation refers to the absence of double bonds, and a triple bond between two carbons is not common in fatty acids. The acid group is always at the alpha end of a fatty acid molecule, while the omega end is at the opposite end of the hydrocarbon chain. Fatty acids do not contain nitrogen.
