Fatty acids are composed of hydrocarbon chains and a carboxyl group.
<h3>What are Fatty acids ?</h3>
Fatty acids are the building blocks of the fat in our bodies and in the food we eat.
During digestion, the body breaks down fats into fatty acids, which can then be absorbed into the blood.
Fatty acid molecules are usually joined together in groups of three, forming a molecule called a triglyceride.
Generally, a fatty acid consists of a straight chain of an even number of carbon atoms, with hydrogen atoms along the length of the chain and at one end of the chain and a carboxyl group (―COOH) at the other end.
It is that carboxyl group that makes it an acid (carboxylic acid).

Using the exponential decay model; we calculate "k"
We know that "A" is half of A0
A = A0 e^(k× 5050)
A/A0 = e^(5050k)
0.5 = e^(5055k)
In (0.5) = 5055k
-0.69315 = 5055k
k = -0.0001371
To calculate how long it will take to decay to 86% of the original mass
0.86 = e^(-0.0001371t)
In (0.86) = -0.0001371t
-0.150823 = -0.0001371 t
t = 1100 hours
A) the independent variable is the variable that doesn’t rely on another variable. For this question the independent would be the days.
b) the dependent variable is the number of bacteria
c) ‘Number of bacteria across a number of days’
