Suppose I have a molecule that consists of a carboxyl group attached to one end of a long hydrocarbon chain. Within the hydrocarbon chain, 8 carbon atoms are linked to each other by single covalent bonds; 2 carbon atoms are linked to each other by a double covalent bond. This molecule is an example of: - a saturated fatty acid - an unsaturated fatty acid - an alcohol - a polysaccharide - a steroid
