unsaturated fatty acids
fatty acid with one or more double bonds
two types of unsaturated fatty acids
monounsaturated and polyunsaturated
monounsaturated
fatty acid with ONLY ONE double bond
polyunsaturated

the carboxylic acid (-COOH) end is the head or the tail
head; beginning
the methyl (CH3) end is the head or the tail
tail
how are fatty acids names
using the position of the first double bond when counted from the methyl or the n-end
majority of fat in animals is
triglycerides
the longer the fatty acid, the _________ the melting point
higher
the more double bonds present, what happens to melting point
decreases
Are lipids hydrophobic or hydrophilic
hydrophobic
why do we need bile
