The correct statements that describe fatty acids are:

  1. Naturally occurring animal fats and vegetable oils are formed from fatty acids.
  2. Fatty acids have many nonpolar C-C and C-H bonds.
  3. Fatty acids contain a carboxylic acid (RCOOH), functional group.

The statement "Almost all fatty acids are soluble in water" is incorrect. Fatty acids are generally insoluble in water due to their nonpolar nature.
