fatty acid is an essential component of lipids that is present in plants, animals as well as microorganisms. structurally, a fatty acid is made up of a straight chain of carbon and hydrogen atoms bound to one another with single or double covalent bonds. The one end of the chain consist of a carboxyl group (―COOH) which is also responsible for the formation of an ester linkage.Fatty acids are the component of - Glycolipid, Bee wax, and Gangliosides. Glycolipids are made up of a glycerol backbone and are most commonly found in the cell membranes of living organisms. Fatty acids are connected to the glycerol backbone by an ester linkage, it makes the glycolipid with a non-polar fatty acid chain and a polar glycerol head. The bilayer of these glycolipids will eventually forms a lipid bilayer cell membrane having both hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties. Beeswax consists of linear monoesters mainly palmitic acid and oleic acid. These linear monoesters represents 40–50% of the beeswax structure. Gangliosides consist of sialic acid groups, along with the sugar (glucose, galactose, and galactosamine). It is most commonly found in ganglion cells of the CNS, most animal tissues. It also plays a significant role in the immune response generated against foreign particles.Hence, ii, iv and v consist of fatty acids.
