Lipids Flashcards

Lipids Flashcards - AQA Biology

Define Saturated Fatty Acids and explain their structure.

Saturated Fatty Acids are holding as many H atoms as possible, due to the lack of double bonds - hence the name saturated. This results in a relatively straight shape, so molecules can be tightly packed in parallel. This tight structure results in these lipids being solid, or fats.
