Which of the following groups is found in the structure of fatty acids?
A
Carboxyl group
B
Phosphate Group
C
Hydroxyl Group
D
Amino Group
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Generally, a fatty acid consists of a straight chain of an even number of carbon atoms, with hydrogen atoms along the length of the chain and at one end of the chain and a carboxyl group (―COOH) at the other end. It is that carboxyl group that makes it an acid (carboxylic acid).

Detailed explanation-2: -fatty acids is the acidic carboxyl group (COOH). It reacts with alcohols (R′OH) to form products known as esters (RCOOR′) and releases water in the process. This ester bond is the principal covalent bond linking fatty acid moieties to other groups in the more-complex lipids discussed in other sections of…

Detailed explanation-3: -Fatty acids consist of carboxylic group attached to the aliphatic chain that can be either saturated or unsaturated. They have even numbers of carbon atoms along with hydrogen atoms. Thus, the given statement that all fatty acids are carboxylic acids is true.

Detailed explanation-4: -Fatty acids are classified into three types: saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated.

Detailed explanation-5: -1 Answer. The explanation is: Fatty acids are long chain hydrocarbons containing only one carboxyl group at the end of the molecule.
