Detailed explanation-1: -An unsaturated fat is a fat or fatty acid in which there is at least one double bond within the fatty acid chain. A fatty acid chain is monounsaturated if it contains one double bond, and polyunsaturated if it contains more than one double bond.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Unsaturated fats have at least one double bond in their fatty acid tail, meaning the answer is B). Unsaturated fats are said to be unsaturated because the carbons in their fatty acid tails are not saturated with hydrogen.
Detailed explanation-3: –There are two types of unsaturated fats: cis and trans.-Cis-unsaturated fats contain double bonds, with hydrogens on the same side of the double bond which causes the carbon chain to bend.
