|
They are more common in animals than in plants.
|
|
|
They have double bonds in their fatty acid chains.
|
|
|
They generally solidify at room temperature.
|
|
|
They contain more hydrogen than saturated fats having the same number of carbon atoms.
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Hence, the correct answer is ‘They have double bonds in the carbon chains of their fatty acids’
Detailed explanation-2: -Fats may be saturated (having single bonds) or unsaturated (having double bonds). Unsaturated fats may be cis (hydrogens in same plane) or trans (hydrogens in two different planes). Olive oil, a monounsaturated fat, has a single double bond whereas canola oil, a polyunsaturated fat, has more than one double bond.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The source for the unsaturated fats is plants rather than animals. Therefore, this statement is false. The double bonds are present in the carbon chains of the unsaturated fats.
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.
