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

Answer;

-a long carbon and hydrogen chain

Explanation;

-Fatty acids together with glycerols are the building blocks or what we call monomers of lipids (fats and oils).

-Fatty acids are made up of carbon atoms that are bonded with hydrogen atoms. They have a carboxyl group at one of the terminal ends, which is the functional group of fatty acids.

-Fatty acids may be saturated, which means they have maximum number of hydrogen atoms in each carbon atom, or unsaturated which means they have triple or double bond in their structure.
