There are 16 carbon atoms in the molecular structure of Palmytic acid.
Our body does need the Linoleic fatty acid to function.
Both, Palmytic and Linoleic acids are fatty acids.
There are 18 carbon atoms in the molecular structure of Linoleic Acid.
Palmytic acid and Linoleic acid are both insoluble in water.
Palmytic acid and Linoleic acid contain a methyl ending.
Palmytic acid and Linoleic acid share the same number of oxygen atoms.
Palmytic acid and Linoleic acid share the same number of hydrogen atoms.
Palmytic is a saturated fatty acid because it only has one bond that joins the hydrocarbon chains.
Our body does not need the Palmytic fatty acid to function.
Linoleic acid is double bonded which classifies it as a polyunsaturated fatty acid.
Linoleic acid is an unsaturated fatty acid since it has a double bond connecting the carbon chains.
Since Palmytic acid is a saturated fatty acid that contains 16 carbon atoms, it has no double bonds.
