Step-by-step explanation:

Saturated Fatty Acids

The primary components of fatty acids are carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. When carbon atoms bond together, they form a single bond and can exhibit a zig-zag shape. When the overall molecule is seen, the entire fatty acid appears as a fairly straight line.
