**Exercise: Identify the Bond Configurations in an Unsaturated Fatty Acid**

**Task:** Classify the bonds labeled 1 and 2 in the following unsaturated fatty acid.

**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram displays an unsaturated fatty acid with its carbon chain. Two double bonds are labeled as 1 and 2. The molecular structure is a zigzag line with a carboxyl group (COOH) at the right end. The first double bond, labeled 1, and the second double bond, labeled 2, are located along the carbon chain.

**Answer Options:**

A) cis, cis  
B) cis, trans  
C) **trans, cis**  
D) trans, trans

**Correct Answer:** C) trans, cis

This implies the first double bond has a trans configuration and the second double bond has a cis configuration.
