Answer:

In chemistry, particularly in biochemistry, a fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long aliphatic chain, which is either saturated or unsaturated. Most naturally occurring fatty acids have an unbranched chain of an even number of carbon atoms, from 4 to 28.Fatty acids are usually not found in organisms in their standalone form, but instead exist as three main classes of esters: triglycerides, phospholipids, and cholesteryl esters. In any of these forms, fatty acids are both important dietary sources of fuel for animals and they are important structural components for cells.

A carboxylic acid consisting of  a hydrocarbon chain and a terminal carboxyl group , especially any of those occurring as esters in fats and oil.

Fatty acids are secreted from adipose tissue.

Fatty acids are the building blocks of the fat in our bodies and in the food we eat.  During digestion , the body breaks down fat into fatty acids , which can then be absorbed into the blood. Fatty acid molecules are usually joined together in groups of three, forming a molecule called a triglyceride.
