Answer 1

Answer:

The options are

A. Saturated

B. Liquids at room temperature

C. Solid at room temperature

D. Generally found in animal fats

E. Made of glycerol plus two fatty acids

The answer is B. Liquids at room temperature

Explanation:

Fats composed of fatty acids that have double bonds in the fatty acids and have fewer than the maximum number of hydrogen atoms are liquids at room temperature.

This is because the deficiency in the maximum number of hydrogen atoms makes reduced the high bond strength synonymous with solids. This is why the lipids are known to be liquids at room temperature.
