Unsaturated fatty acids are often classified according to the number of carbon atoms between the terminal methyl carbon (the omega carbon) and the closest double bond to the methyl end of the chain. an omega 6 fatty acid, for example, would have a double bond in positon 6 counting from the methyl end of the molecule.

classify,
gamma-linolenic, arachidonic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid(epa), palmitoleic acid, linoleic acid, oleic acid, and alpha-linolenic acid

into the following categories:
omega-3, omega-6, omega-7, or omega-9.

Imagine that a new planet is discovered with two moons of equal mass: moon a and moon b. the mass of the new planet is greater than the combined mass of its moons. moon a is farther away from the new planet than moon b. what is the planet's gravitational pull on moon a compared to the planet's gravitational pull on moon b? the planet's gravity repels moon a with a greater force than it repels moon b, which is why moon a is farther away. the gravitational pull on moon b is greater than on moon a because moon b is closer to the new planet than moon a. the gravitational pull on moon b is greater than on moon a because moon b is farther away from the new planet than moon a. the gravitational pull on moon a is the same as the gravitational pull on moon b because distance does not affect the planet's gravity.
