Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which of the following is a saturated fatty acid?
  • Step 1: Understand what a saturated fatty acid is. A saturated fatty acid has no double bonds between carbon atoms.
  • Step 2: Identify the options given in the question. Look for the one that has only single bonds between carbon atoms.
  • Step 3: Check the structure of each option. If you see only single bonds in the carbon chain, that is a saturated fatty acid.
  • Step 4: Confirm that stearic acid has no double bonds and is therefore a saturated fatty acid.
