Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is E. A fatty acid that contains two carbon-carbon double bonds in its formula is described as polyunsaturated.

Explanation:

Polyunsaturated fatty acids are fatty acids that have more than one double bond between their carbons. Within this group we find linolenic acid (omega 3 and omega 6) that is essential for humans. They have a beneficial effect in general, lowering total cholesterol. Excess involves the production of toxic compounds. They can be obtained from fish and vegetable such as corn, soy, sunflower, pumpkin, and nuts.
