Unsaturated fats are made saturated by:
Correct answer: C. Hydrogenation
- A. Polymerization
- B. Dehydrogenation
- C. Hydrogenation
- D. Hybridization
Explanation
The correct answer is Hydrogenation. This process involves the addition of hydrogen to unsaturated fats, breaking the double bonds (C=C) and forming single bonds (C-C), thus converting them into saturated fats. Polymerization is unrelated as it deals with forming polymers. Dehydrogenation removes hydrogen, which is contrary to what is needed. Hybridization is a concept in molecular chemistry dealing with orbitals, not with the saturation of 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.
