Question
**Question 5:** How would the following fatty acid be characterized? The image presents a structural formula of a fatty acid. The structure shows a long hydrocarbon chain with a carboxylic acid group (COOH) at one end. There are no double bonds present in the hydrocarbon chain, indicating saturation. **Answer Options:** - A. short chain, saturated - B. medium chain, saturated - C. long chain, saturated - D. short chain, unsaturated - E. medium chain, unsaturated - F. long chain, unsaturated **Analysis:** - The absence of double bonds indicates the fatty acid is saturated. - The length of the carbon chain suggests it is a long-chain fatty acid. **Correct Answer:** - C. long chain, saturated
