Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answers;

-The number of carbon-carbon double bonds

Explanation;

-Linoleic acid is considered a type of nonpolar compound. It contains a hydrocarbon due to being a fatty acid making it nonpolar.

-The body can synthesize most of the fats it needs from the diet. However, two essential fatty acids, linoleic and alpha-linolenic, cannot be synthesized in the body and must be obtained from food. These basic fats, found in plant foods, are used to build specialized fats called omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids.
