Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the functional group

The molecule has a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) at one end, indicating it is a fatty acid.

Step 2: Count the carbons

The molecule has a long hydrocarbon chain. Counting the carbons, we find there are 16 carbons in total.

Step 3: Determine saturation

The hydrocarbon chain contains only single bonds between carbon atoms, so it is a saturated fatty acid.
