Contains a single bond between carbon atoms

Detailed explanation-1: –Cis-unsaturated fats contain double bonds, with hydrogens on the same side of the double bond which causes the carbon chain to bend.
Detailed explanation-2: -Unsaturated fatty acid carbon chains contain one or more double bonds with a terminal carboxylic group (–COOH), unlike saturated fatty acids, which contain no double bonds. These fatty acids are subdivided into two groups depending on the number of double bonds.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hence, the correct answer is ‘They have double bonds in the carbon chains of their fatty acids’
Detailed explanation-4: -unsaturated fat A fat molecule made of chains where some carbon atoms are not fully saturated with hydrogen atoms. These carbons form double bonds with the carbons next to them.
Detailed explanation-5: -In saturated fatty acids, there is free rotation about the carbon-carbon single bonds (C–C). In contrast, the carbon-carbon double bonds (C=C) in unsaturated fatty acids are rigid; rotation about doubly bonded carbon atoms is not possible without rupturing the bond.
