Question

triglycerides vary with respect to the number of ... (a) hydrocarbon tails. (b) c atoms in the tails. (c) double bonds in the tails. both (b) and (c). all of the above.

Explanation:

Triglycerides consist of glycerol and fatty - acid tails. The fatty - acid tails can vary in the number of carbon (C) atoms and the number of double bonds. Each triglyceride has three fatty - acid tails (hydrocarbon tails), so they don't vary in the number of hydrocarbon tails. But they do vary in the number of C atoms in the tails and the number of double bonds in the tails.

Answer:

D. Both (b) and (c)
