Fatty acids are vital constituents of all these lipids and there are two important varieties of fatty acids and they are as follows. Free fatty acids ffa are taken up into cells mainly. This the first longterm study to find that high levels of free fatty acids may be linked to an increased risk of sudden death in healthy men, says study author xavier jouven, m. Physical properties of fatty acids melting points a fatty acids are strongly influenced by both carbon chain length and degree of unsaturation number of double bonds present. Fatty acids the simplest lipids are the fatty acids, which rarely exist alone in nature, but instead are usually a component of more complex lipids fatty acids are carboxylic acids with a long hydrocarbon chain attached although the acid end is polar, the nonpolar hydrocarbon tail makes fatty acids insoluble or sparingly soluble in water. The opposite goes for unsaturated fatty acids, their tails cannot pack as closely together so in turn they have relatively low melting points which causes them to appear as liquids at room temperature. Fats usually consist of saturated fatty acids while oils usually consist of unsaturated fatty acids.
