Explain why cholesterol, a compound with molecular formula C 27H 46O and one OH group, is soluble in CCl 4 but insoluble in water.
Structurally, how are the atoms and bonds different between a saturated fatty acid and a monounsaturated fatty acid?
fatty acid naming 1
A fatty acid contains 18 carbon atoms and has two double bonds. The first is between
carbons 3 and 4 and a double bond is between carbons 7 and 8, both measured from the end
of the hydrophobic chain (away from the carboxylic acid end). What do we call this type of
fatty acid?
