Answer: Linoleic acid is an unsaturated fatty acid.

Explanation: Fatty acids are carboxylic acids with long long chains of hydrcarbons whose hydrocarbon chains can be straight (linear) or branched, saturated or unsaturated.

Saturated fatty acids are those fatty acids in which all the carbon-carbon bonds are single bonds while unsaturated fatty acids in which there is presence of one or more double bonds. When a fatty acid contains only one carbon-carbon double bond, it is said to be monounsaturated but when it contains more than one carbon-carbon double bond, it is said to be polyunsaturated.

From the diagram above, Linoleic acid has two carbon-carbon double bonds, there it is unsaturated.

What is unique about a hominid pelvis when compared to other primates
ki77a [65]

Answer:

The hominid pelvis displays many unique features (when compared to

that of quadrupedal primates) that support bipedalism. The major

adaptations are seen in the sacrum and the ilia, as well as in the

overall configuration and orientation of the pelvic bones.

Explanation:

These changes in the sacrum were for the adaption of standing on two legs,

The uniqueness is also that ilia are rotated and curved medially, bringing the lateral edge of  the blade forward and projecting the top of the ilia outward laterally.
