Which is a Property of Unsaturated Fats

Question

Which is a property of unsaturated fats?
A) They are more common in animals.
B) They are generally liquid at room temperature.
C) They have no double bonds in the carbon chains of their fatty acids.
D) They have fewer fatty acids per fat molecule than do saturated fats.
E) They contain more hydrogen than saturated fats that have the same number of carbon atoms.

Accepted Answer

Unsaturated fats have one or more double bonds in the carbon chains of their fatty acids, which causes them to be liquid at room temperature due to the kinks in their structure preventing them from packing closely together.
