Current Attempt in Progress
In a future section on the biochemistry of fatty acids, we will study the following three long-chain unsaturated carboxylic acids:
Oleic acid
CH3(CH2CH=CH(CH2COOH
Linoleic acid
CH3(CH2)4CH=CHCH2CH=CH(CH2)2COOH
Linolenic acid
CH3CH2CH=CHCH2CH=CHCH2CH-CH(CH2),COOH
Each has 18 carbons and is a component of animal fats, vegetable oils, and biological membranes. Because of their presence in animal
fats, they are called fatty acids.
(a) How many cis-trans isomers are possible for each fatty acid?
Oleic acid:
Linoleic acid:
Linolenic acid:
