An example for a saturated fatty acid, present in nature is

Options

(a) oleic acid
(b) linoleic acid
(c) linolenic acid
(d) palmitic acid

Correct Answer:

palmitic acid

Explanation:

Oleic acid – C₁₇H₃₃COOH, linoleic acid – C₁₇H₃₁COOH, linolenic acid – C₁₇H₂₉COOH, palmitic acid – C₁₅H₃₁COOH.Saturated monocarboxylic acids form a homologous series which has a general formula C(n)H(2n+1)COOH or C(n)H(2n+1)COOH or C(n)H(2n+1)COOH or C(n)H(2n)O₂. only palmitic acid follows this.
