Question

Why are saturated fats problematic from a human health standpoint?

Select one:

They have less fatty acid chains

They have no carbon double bonds (C=C), allowing the molecules to stack more due to a flat three dimensional structure

They are liquid at room temperature

They contain no gycerol

The "kink'' in the fatty acid chain

Answer 1

ANSWER :

They have no carbon double bonds (C=C), allowing the molecules to stack more due to a flat three

EXPLANATION -Saturated fats are saturated with hydrogen molecules and contain only single bonds between carbon molecules. On the other hand, unsaturated fats have at least one double bond between carbon molecules. This tends them to be solid at room temperature. Eating foods that contain saturated fats raises the level of cholesterol in blood.Increase risk of heart disease and stroke
