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).
The following is a list of the top ten largest lakes by surface area in the United States. Their locations have also been included for reference. 1) Lake Superior. Surface Area: 31,700 square miles (82,103 sq km) Location: Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Ontario, Canada.
Bounded between Michigan in the US on the west and by Ontario in Canada on the north and east, Lake Huron is another from among North Americaâs Great Lakes. Huron can boast its prowess as the worldâs 4th largest lake, and the 3rd largest fresh water lake, with a surface area covering 59,596 kmÂ². The lake is 331 km long and 295 km wide. The deepest point of the lake is 229 m, and its average depth of is 59 m.
