14895913081 | dehydration synthesis | Condensation reaction where molecules are connected by loss of a water molecule. | ![]() | 10 |
14895913082 | saturated fatty acid | A 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. | ![]() | 11 |
14895913083 | unsaturated fatty acid | A fatty acid possessing one or more double bonds between the carbons in the hydrocarbon tail. Such bonding reduces the number of hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon skeleton. | ![]() | 12 |
