One of the following does not belong to fatty acid........................

  • A.Stearic acid
  • B.Oleic acid
  • C.Ascorbic acid
  • D.Palmitic acid

Answer: C

The one that is not a fatty acid is ascorbic acid.

Ascorbic acid is vitamin C, a water-soluble vitamin with a sugar-like ring structure, needed for collagen formation; its deficiency causes scurvy. It is not a fatty acid.

The other three are fatty acids, long hydrocarbon chains with a carboxyl group, found in fats and oils. Stearic acid and palmitic acid are saturated fatty acids, and oleic acid is a monounsaturated fatty acid, the main fatty acid of olive oil.
