A 20-carbon saturated fatty acid is a curved molecule.

B

Structure of a bent 20-carbon saturated fatty acid with a carboxylic acid group.

A 20-carbon saturated fatty acid is a curved molecule.

C

Structure of a linear 20-carbon saturated fatty acid with a carboxylic acid group.

A 20-carbon saturated fatty acid is a linear molecule.

D

Structure of a bent 20-carbon saturated fatty acid with a carboxylic acid group.

A 20-carbon saturated fatty acid is a linear molecule.
