Question

1. if a fatty acid chain has 6 carbons, it is grouped with: short - chain fatty acids medium - chain fatty acids long - chain fatty acids carboxyl group hydrocarbon chain 24) foods rich in saturated fats have higher melting points. true false

Explanation:

For question 23, short - chain fatty acids have 2 - 6 carbon atoms, so a 6 - carbon fatty acid chain is a short - chain fatty acid. For question 24, saturated fats have more single bonds and can pack closely together, increasing intermolecular forces and thus having higher melting points.

Answer:

1. Short - chain fatty acids
2. True
