Classify each of the following fatty acids as saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated. Drag the appropriate items to their respective bins. 1. myristic acid
2. oleic acid
3. linoleic acid
4. palmitic acid
A. Saturated acids
B. Monounsaturated acids
C. Polyunsaturated acids

A. Saturated acids  -  1. myristic acid, 4. palmitic acid

B. Monounsaturated acids  - 2. oleic acid

C. Polyunsaturated acids -  3. linoleic acid

Explanation:

Saturated fatty acids are the fats combined together with a single bond and no double or triple bond while unsaturated fatty acids are the fats having a double or triple bond between them.

Monosaturated acids have only one double or triple bond while polyunsaturated acids have more than one double or triple bond.

So, an appropriate match of given acids are:

A. Saturated acids  - Myristic acid (CH3(CH2)12COOH) and Palmitic acid (CH3(CH2)14COOH) dont have any double or triple bonds.

B. Monounsaturated acids  - Oleic acid (CH3(CH2)7CH=CH(CH 2)7COOH) have only one double bond.

C. Polyunsaturated acids - Linoleic acid (HOC–7CH=CH–CH 2–CH=CH–3H) has two double bonds.

Hence, the correct answer is:

A. Saturated acids  -  1. myristic acid, 4. palmitic acid

B. Monounsaturated acids  - 2. oleic acid

C. Polyunsaturated acids -  3. linoleic acid
