Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Saturated lipids have all single bonds between carbon atoms, which allows them to pack closely together, typically resulting in a solid state at room temperature. This structure contrasts with unsaturated lipids, which contain one or more double bonds and often have higher melting points.
