A skeletal molecular diagram depicts a long-chain saturated fatty acid with an unbranched 16‑carbon backbone terminating in a carboxyl group (COOH), corresponding to C16H32O2. In biological hierarchy, it is a fatty acid molecule within the lipid class that incorporates into phospholipids and triglycerides of cell membranes and lipid droplets. In biochemistry and physiology, C16:0 (palmitic acid) functions as a free fatty acid (FFA) used for energy storage and β‑oxidation, and as a structural building block of membrane lipids.
