Question
the fatty acids of a saturated fat have
many double bonds.
a lower number of hydrogen atoms.
greater flexibility or fluidity.
no double bonds.
fewer carbon atoms.
Brief Explanations
Saturated fats are defined by their fatty acid structure, where carbon atoms are fully saturated with hydrogen atoms, meaning there are no carbon-carbon double bonds. The other options describe unsaturated fats: they have double bonds, fewer hydrogens, greater fluidity, and saturated fats do not inherently have fewer carbons.
