[[Saturated and unsaturated compounds|Saturated]] fatty acids have perfectly straight chain structure. [[Unsaturated compound|Unsaturated]] ones are typically bent, unless they have a [[#Unsaturated fatty acids|trans]] configuration.]]<br /> In [[chemistry]], particularly in [[biochemistry]], a &#039;&#039;&#039;fatty acid&#039;&#039;&#039; is a [[carboxylic acid]] with an [[aliphatic]] chain, which is either [[saturated and unsaturated compounds#Organic chemistry|saturated or unsaturated]]. Most naturally occurring fatty acids have an [[Branched chain fatty acids|unbranched chain]] of an even number of carbon atoms, from 4 to 28. Fatty acids are a major component of the lipids (up to 70% by weight) in some species such as microalgae but in some other organisms are not found in their standalone form, but instead exist as three main classes of [[ester]]s: [[triglyceride]]s, [[phospholipid]]s, and [[cholesteryl ester]]s. In any of these forms, fatty acids are both important [[diet (nutrition)|dietary]] sources of fuel for animals and important structural components for [[cell (biology)|cells]].</div>
