Which of the Following is a Naturally Occurring Unsaturated Fatty

Question

Which of the following is a naturally occurring unsaturated fatty acid?
A) lauric acid
B) palmitic acid
C) linoleic acid
D) myristic acid

Accepted Answer

Lauric acid, palmitic acid, and myristic acid are all saturated fatty acids, meaning they do not contain any double bonds between carbon atoms. Linoleic acid, on the other hand, is an unsaturated fatty acid because it contains two carbon-carbon double bonds.
