_ fats are solid at room temperature.
Correct answer: A. Saturated
- A. Saturated
- B. Unsaturated
- C. All
- D. None
Explanation
Saturated fats are solid at room temperature because their molecular structure is straight and allows for tight packing, which is typical of animal fats. Unsaturated fats, however, have kinks in their structure that prevent them from packing tightly, causing them to be liquid at room temperature, which is typical of plant oils. Therefore, the correct answer is that saturated fats are solid at room temperature, distinguishing them from unsaturated fats.

About Biological Molecules
The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
