Question

Fatty acids with no double bonds are called:

Mr. NARESH KUMAR K · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: C
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
 **Primary Concept**: Fatty acid saturation
 **Related Topics**: Lipids, biochemistry, organic chemistry
 **Prerequisites**: Understanding of chemical bonding, particularly double bonds.
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
  The question describes fatty acids with no double bonds.
**Method & Steps**:
 1. Define saturated and unsaturated fatty acids.
  Reasoning: Saturated fatty acids have only single bonds between carbon atoms in their hydrocarbon chain. Unsaturated fatty acids have one or more double bonds in their hydrocarbon chain.  Polyunsaturated refers to multiple double bonds.
 2. Identify the correct term based on the given information.
  Working: Since the question specifies 'no double bonds', the only option that fits is 'saturated'.
 3. Choose the correct option.
  Result: Saturated
  Verification: The definition of saturated fatty acids directly matches the description in the question.
## OPTION ANALYSIS
A :x: Unsaturated fatty acids contain at least one double bond in their hydrocarbon chain. 
B :x: Polyunsaturated fatty acids contain multiple double bonds in their hydrocarbon chain.
C ✓: Saturated fatty acids contain only single bonds between carbon atoms in their hydrocarbon chain. This matches the description in the question.
D :x: Hydrogenated refers to a process of adding hydrogen to unsaturated fats to saturate them.  It's a process, not a classification of fatty acids themselves.
## LEARNING AIDS
 **Common Mistakes**:
  1.Confusing saturated and unsaturated fats: Remember that saturated fats have no double bonds, while unsaturated fats have one or more double bonds.
  2. Misinterpreting 'hydrogenated': Hydrogenation is a process, not a type of fatty acid.
 **Quick Tips**:
  1.Visualize the carbon chain:  A saturated fatty acid's carbon chain looks like a straight line (single bonds), while an unsaturated chain has kinks (double bonds).
  2. Use mnemonics:  'Saturated' sounds like 'single' (bonds).
