saturated fatty acid definitions
# Definition Sets
1a fatty acid in which all carbons in the hydrocarbon tail are connected by single bonds, thus maximizing the number of hydrogen atoms that can attach to the carbon skeleton.12 sets
2a fatty acid whose carbon chain cannot absorb any more hydrogen atoms6 sets
3solid at room temperature, animal derived, all carbons have single bonds to hydrogens5 sets
4a fatty acid were bonds between carbon and hydrogen atoms, that can store a lot of energy. they are also relatively straight molecules such as animal fats,butter, lard and grease that are solid at room temprature.4 sets
5a fatty acid in which all carbons in the hydrocarbon tail are connected by single bonds, thus maximizing the number of hydrogen atoms that are attached to the carbon skeleton.3 sets
6means that the carbon is saturated with hydrogen. most animal fats are saturated. solid at room temperature2 sets
7a fatty acid whose carbon chain cannot absorb any more hydrogen atoms; has no double bonds; solid at room temperature2 sets
8a fatty acid in which all carbons in the hydrocarbon tail are connected by single bonds, thus maximizing the number of hydrogen atoms that can attach to the carbon skeleton2 sets
9carbon atoms saturated with hydrogen2 sets
10a type of fatty acid that comes primarily from animal sources and is solid at room temperature2 sets
11contains only single covalent bonds between the carbon atoms of the hydrocarbon chain2 sets
12fatty acid in which each carbon in the chain has an attached hydrogen atom.1 set
13structure w/no double bounds and saturated w/hydrogen; most fats are saturated1 set
14fatty acid in which each carbon in the chain has an attached hydrogen atom1 set
15fatty acid with no carbon-carbon double bonds; straight chain1 set
16used to produce hormones; the bad kind1 set
17a fatty acid where bonds between carbon and hydrogen atoms, that can store a lot of energy. they are also relatively straight molecules such as animal fats,butter, lard and grease that are solid at room temprature.1 set
18the localized, repetitive coiling or folding of the polypeptide backbone of a protein due to hydrogen bond formation between peptide linkages.1 set
19each carbon atom within the chain holds 2 hydrogen atoms1 set
20fatty acid with no c=c bond1 set
21fatty acid all carbon bonds are single bonds1 set
22fatty acid with no double bonds and thus the maximum number of hydrogens1 set
23have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms possible and no double bonds1 set
24all avilable bonds are filled (single bonds)1 set
25fatty acids in which single bonds join the carbon atoms (ex: butter and lard, solid at room temperature)1 set
26no double bonds between carbon atoms composing the chain; at room temp. this fat is solid1 set
27in a hydrocarbon chain of fatty acids, if there are no double bonds between carbon atoms composing the chain, then as many hydrogen atoms as possible is bonded to the carbon skeleton. the resulting structure is saturated.1 set
28a fatty acid that is holding all the hydrogen it can1 set
29when there are no double bonds between carbon atoms composing the chain, then as many hydrogen atoms as possible are bonded to the carbon skeleton.1 set
30a fatty acid usually containing from 12 to 18 carbon atoms and no double bonds.1 set
31butter1 set
32no double bonds1 set
33a fatty acid when all carbons in the hydrocarbon tail are connected by single bonds, thus maximizing the number of hydrogen atoms that can be attached to the carbon skeleton.1 set
34when there are no double bonds between the carbon in the chains, allowing as many hydrogen atoms as possible1 set
35no doube bonds.1 set
36no double bonts, solid at room temp, comes from animals.1 set
37a fatty acid without any double bonds. all carbon and carbon single bonds.1 set
38fatty acid, the carbon chain of which contains no ethylenic or other unsaturated linkages between carbon atoms1 set
39always has a dubble bond1 set
40fats such as butter, that are solid at room tempature1 set
