Which statement is true about the most common naturally occurring fatty acids?A) They have 50-100 carbon atoms and an even number of carbon atoms. B) They have 50-100 carbon atoms and an odd number of carbon atoms. C) They have 12-20 carbon atoms and an even number of carbon atoms. D) They have 12-20 carbon atoms and an odd number of carbon atoms.

C) They have 12-20 carbon atoms and an even number of carbon atoms.

Explanation:

Fatty acid is described as Carboxylic acid that contains the structural component of lipids

fats and oils. Fatty acids are unbranched and usually have 12-20 carbon atoms evenly. They are known by their number of carbon-to-carbon double bonds present.

For saturated fatty acids, they don't have any carbon-to-carbon double bonds. Fatty acid can be classified based on the number of carbon-to-carbon, such as; monounsaturated fatty acids which have one carbon-to-carbon double bond and also polyunsaturated fatty acids which have contain more than carbon-to-carbon double bonds

Some natural fatty acid

1.)Lauric acid (C11H23COOH)

2.)Palmitic acid (C15H31COOH)

3.)Myristic acid (C13H27COOH)

4.) Linoleic acid (C17H31COOH)

5.) Arachidonic acid(C19H31COOH)

d.) the average kinetic energy of the gas particles is greater in container b because its particles move faster.

aquifers are bounded above and below by impermeable rock. the driving force of groundwater movement in confined aquifers is pressure, rather than gravity.
