| A monounsaturated fatty acid has one point of unsaturation, while a polyunsaturated fatty acid has two or more. |
| In many cases, properties attributed to sphingomyelins may simply be due to chain length and unsaturation. |
| Elongation and unsaturation of fatty acids occurs in both the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum. |
| The current work shows that lipid asymmetry and unsaturation both result in high critical pressures in monolayers. |
| Since these enzymes cannot introduce sites of unsaturation beyond C9 they cannot synthesize either linoleate or linolenate. |
| The color of a dye is due to its ability to absorb light in the visible region of the spectrum, an ability enhanced by unsaturation and resonance. |
