Unsaturated fatty acids are those containing __________ carbon-carbon double bond(s).

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Unsaturated fatty acids can have one or more carbon-carbon double bonds. Saturated fatty acids do not have any double bonds. Therefore, option A, only one double bond, cannot be the best choice. Option B, exactly two double bonds, is too specific and not necessarily true for all unsaturated fatty acids. Option D, two or more double bonds, is too broad and may include other types of molecules besides unsaturated fatty acids. Therefore, option C, one or more double bonds, is the best choice as it encompasses all unsaturated fatty acids.
