The term "saturated" refers to migraine hydrogen, in that all carbons (apart from the carboxylic acid migraine [-COOH] group) contain as many hydrogens as possible. In other words, the omega (ω) end contains 3 hydrogens (CH3-) and each carbon within the chain contains 2 hydrogens (-CH2-). Saturated fatty acids form straight chains and, as a result, can be packed together very tightly, allowing living organisms to store chemical energy very densly. The fatty tissues of animals contain large amounts of long-chain saturated fatty acids. In IUPAC nomenclature, fatty acids have an -oic acid suffix. In common nomenclature, the suffix is usually -ic. Some saturated fatty acids are: Acetic: CH3COOH Butyric: CH3(CH2)2COOH Lauric (dodecanoic acid): CH3(CH2)10COOH Myristic (tetradecanoic acid): CH3(CH2)12COOH Palmitic (hexadecanoic acid): CH3(CH2)14COOH Stearic (octadecanoic acid): CH3(CH2)16COOH Arachidic (eicosanoic acid): CH3(CH2)18COOH This is a computer generated image of Dodecanoic Acid, a fatty acid.
