Fats containing _ fatty acids are solid at room temperature.
Correct answer: C. Saturated
- A. Unsaturated
- B. Branched
- C. Saturated
- D. Ringed
Explanation
Saturated fatty acids have no carbon to carbon double bonds and so will form more bonds with hydrogen atoms and have straight chains. This will cause them to have stronger intermolecular forces and a lower melting point. Hence, they are solid at room temperature. Saturated fatty acids are animal 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.
