Detailed explanation-1: -Fatty acids with hydrocarbon chains that contain only single bonds are called saturated fatty acids because they have the greatest number of hydrogen atoms possible and are, therefore, “saturated” with hydrogen.
Detailed explanation-2: -Saturated fats are called “saturated” because of their chemical structure. All fats are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen molecules. Saturated fats are “saturated” with hydrogen atoms, which means they have the greatest number of hydrogen atoms possible and no double bonds in their chemical structure.
Detailed explanation-3: -Saturation/Unsaturation A saturated fatty acid is one that contains the maximum number of hydrogens possible, and no carbon-carbon double bonds. Carbon normally has four bonds to it. Thus, a saturated fatty acid has hydrogens at every position except carbon-carbon single bonds and carbon-oxygen bonds on the acid end.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: A fatty acid that contains the maximum number of hydrogen atoms on each carbon is B) saturated. Saturated fatty acids, therefore, have the most amount of energy available. However, they are typically considered bad for us because they can pack into high-density areas like adipose tissue.
