Summary Introduction
To describe:
The differences between saturated fatty acids, unsaturated fatty acids, and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Introduction:
Fatty acids are long chains of hydrocarbons that are capped through a carboxyl functional group. Fatty acids are also termed as triglycerides because three fatty acids are joined with glycerol. Fatty acids differ with each other due to the presence and location of double bonds among carbon atoms.
