Answer:

Have no C=C double bonds

Explanation:

An saturated compound is the one that cannot undergo certain addition reactions like a hydrogenation, which means that they do not have any double or triple bonds. Therefore Unsaturated Fatty acids do have double bonds, they can be monounsaturated (with one C=C bond) like oleic acid, or polyunsaturated (many C=C bonds) like DHA with 6 unsaturations.

Saturated or unsaturated fatty acids can have short or long hydrophobic tail and both categories can have an even number of carbon atoms:

with 14 C : Myristoleic acid (unsaturated) - Myristic acid (saturated)

with 22 C : DHA (unsaturated) - Behenic acid (saturated)

Any single bond C-C can have free rotation, and even though unsaturated fatty acids presents double bonds they also have single bonds in their hydrocarbon tail.

Answer:  

As the pressure decreases, the amount of oxygen available to breathe also decreases. Atmospheric pressure is an indicator of weather. When a low-pressure system moves into an area, it usually leads to cloudiness, wind, and precipitation. High-pressure systems usually lead to fair, calm weather.
