Detailed explanation-1: -Unsaturated Fatty Acids. Fatty acids may be saturated or unsaturated. In a fatty acid chain, if there are only single bonds between neighboring carbons in the hydrocarbon chain, the fatty acid is said to be saturated.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The saturated fatty acid is identified as one of the four fatty acid categories that possess predominantly one bond between carbons in the fatty acid chain.
Detailed explanation-3: -Saturated chains contain all single bonds, while the unsaturated ones have one (monounsaturated) or more (polyunsaturated) double bonds. The number of hydrogen atoms in the formula of an unsaturated structure will be less than that for the corresponding saturated one with the same number of carbon atoms.
