Unsaturated fatty acids are often classified according to the number of carbon atoms between the terminal methyl carbon


Unsaturated fatty acids are often classified according to the number of carbon atoms between the terminal methyl carbon (the omega carbon) and the closest double bond to the methyl end of the chain. An omega-3 fatty acid, for example, would have a double bond in position 3 counting from the methyl end of the molecule. Identify which omega class each fatty acid belongs to.

Answer #1

palmitoleic acid- omega 7

oleic acid- omega 9

linoleic acid- omega 6

arachidonic acid- omega 6

alpha linolenic acid- omega 3

gamma linolenic acid- omega 6

eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)- omega 3

essential classes of fatty acids are omega 3 and omega 6.
