A)the number of carbon-to-carbon bonds.
B)the consistency at room temperature.
C)the number of hydrogen atoms present.
D)All of the choices are differences between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids.

Accepted Answer

Saturated and unsaturated fatty acids differ in the number of carbon-to-carbon bonds (saturated have single bonds, unsaturated have one or more double bonds), their consistency at room temperature (saturated are solid, unsaturated are liquid), and the number of hydrogen atoms (saturated have more hydrogen atoms).
