Which describes the basic structure of a fatty acid?
a-a long carbon and hydrogen chain and a phosphate group
b-a long carbon and hydrogen chain and a glycerol
c-a long carbon and hydrogen chain and a carboxyl group
d-a long carbon and hydrogen chain and an alcohol

Respuesta :

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Generally, a fatty acid consists of a straight chain of an even number of carbon atoms, with hydrogen atoms along the length of the chain and at one end of the chain and a carboxyl group (―COOH) at the other end. It is that carboxyl group that makes it an acid (carboxylic acid).
