Fats as compared to oils have ___________________?
Correct answer: B. Less unsaturated glycerides of fatty acids
- A. More unsaturated glycerides of fatty acids
- B. Less unsaturated glycerides of fatty acids
- C. Much higher reactivity to oxygen
- D. Lower melting point
Explanation
Fats contain a higher proportion of saturated glycerides, so they are generally solid and have higher melting points than oils. Oils contain more unsaturated glycerides, which introduce kinks into the chains and keep them liquid.
