In omega-3 fatty acids, the last carbon of the last double bond of the hydrocarbon chain ends three carbons from the methyl terminal end of the chain. The last carbon of the chain is called the omega carbon, hence, the designation omega-3. Eicosapentaenoic acid is a common omega-3 fatty acid found in cold water fatty fish and health food supplements.
How many cis-trans isomers are possible for this fatty acid?
cis-trans isomers
