Question

What causes an unsaturated fatty acid to have a different shape than a saturated fatty acid

Answer 1

Answer: Unsaturated fatty acids contain double bonded carbon atoms, which has a different bonding angle than the single bonded carbon atoms in a saturated fatty acid
I hope that helps and is correct

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Unsaturated fatty acids can be monounsaturated or polyunsaturated, monounsaturated fatty acids have one double carbon bond and polyunsaturated fatty acids have more than one double carbon bond. Saturated fatty acids have one single bond. The less carbon bonds, the more carbons the chain has, therefore the more saturated the fatty acid is.
