View Policies 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: eTextbook and Media cis-trans isomers cis-trans isomers cis-trans isomers
