Lipids that are referred to as "saturated" have what in common?

A) All single bonds between carbon atoms
B) One double bond between carbon atoms in the lipid
C) Multiple double bonds between carbon atoms in the lipid
D) Low melting points

Saturated

Describes a chemical compound, typically a fat, that contains no double bonds between carbon atoms, allowing it to hold a maximum number of hydrogen atoms.

Carbon Atoms

Carbon atoms are the fundamental building blocks of organic molecules, characterized by their ability to form up to four covalent bonds with other atoms, including other carbon atoms.

Single Bonds

Chemical bonds involving the sharing of one pair of valence electrons between two atoms.
