In chemistry, particularly in biochemistry, a fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long aliphatic tail (chain), which is either saturated or unsaturated. Most naturally occurring fatty acids have a chain of an even number of carbon atoms, from 12 to 28.hus, saturated fatty acids are saturated with hydrogen (since double bonds reduce the number of hydrogens on each carbon). Because saturated fatty acids have only single bonds, each carbon atom within the chain has 2 hydrogen atoms (except for the omega carbon at the end that has 3 hydrogens).
The following is a list of the top ten largest lakes by surface area in the United States. Their locations have also been included for reference. 1) Lake Superior. Surface Area: 31,700 square miles (82,103 sq km) Location: Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Ontario, Canada.
Its name is derived from the Ojibwa Indian word mishigami, meaning large lake. Lake Michigan's water surface is 22,300 square miles (57,800 square kilometers). It is the second largest of the Great Lakes by volume (1,180 cubic miles / 4,920 cubic km).Only Lake Superior is bigger.
