In chemistry, particularly in biochemistry, a fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long aliphatic tail (chain), which is either saturated or unsaturated. Most naturally occurring fatty acids have a chain of an even number of carbon atoms, from 12 to 28.hus, saturated fatty acids are saturated with hydrogen (since double bonds reduce the number of hydrogens on each carbon). Because saturated fatty acids have only single bonds, each carbon atom within the chain has 2 hydrogen atoms (except for the omega carbon at the end that has 3 hydrogens).

  I own a boat on Lake Michigan, and am certainly a numbers guy.. Lake Michigan and lakes of this size are so huge that they are measured not in acres, but typically in s â¦ quare miles. The Lake is 22,400 square miles which translates to 14,336,000 acreas of surface area.5th largest lake in the world.17 people found this useful.ake Michigan and lakes of this size are so huge that they are measured not in acres, but typically in s â¦ quare miles.
