Answer:

The correct answer will be- double bond in fatty acids.

Explanation:

Two types of fatty acids are present in nature: saturated and unsaturated fatty acids.

The saturated fatty acid is a molecule which gets saturated with the maximum number of hydrogen atoms the carbon skeleton can have whereas unsaturated fatty acid exhibit a double bond in their structure which cause the bending of the carbon skeleton due to different bending angle.

The double bond provides different shape to the unsaturated fatty acid which is absent in the saturated fatty acids.

Thus, the double bond in a fatty acid is the correct answer.

Will earth run out of water?
Kazeer [188]

<u>While our globe may never run out of water as a whole</u>, it's crucial to realize that pure freshwater isn't always available where and when humans require it. In fact, only six countries contain half of the world's freshwater. Over a billion people do not have access to adequate safe, clean water. Water scarcity will afflict the entire planet by 2040 unless water use is significantly decreased. "If we keep doing what we're doing now, there will be no water by 2040."
