Fatty acids are organic acids which have a long chain of carbon and hydrogens attached to the carboxyl group. Oleic Acid is a common saturated fatty acid. Actually the bend in the carbon chain suggests that oleic acid is not completely saturated.
I can't resist this cool looking fatty acid from Chrysanthamums. Notice the interesting triangular ring in the carbon chain.
