O False True SubmitR Request Answer Part D Which of the following statements regarding the structure of triglycerides is TRUE? Fatty acid chains in a triglyceride molecule, which O contain a single double bond, are referred to as monounsaturated fatty acids Fatty acid chains in a triglyceride molecule with more than one double bond are referred to as O saturated fatty acids O A triglyceride consists of a fatty acid with three glycerol molecules attached. Unsaturated fatty acids have only one shape referred to as a cis configuration, which bends at the double bond. O Submit Request AnswerExplanation / Answer
1.True
2 False .(if more than one double bond,they are called polyunsaturated fatty acids)
3.False .( Triglycede has one glycerol esterified with three fatty acids)
4. True. Cis bonds cause the chain to bend while trans bonds don't cause the chain to bend.(most naturally occurring unsaturated fatty acids are cis, all are cis bonds.
Most fatty acids in the trans configuration (trans fats)are not found in nature and are the result of human processing (e.g.,hydrogenation).
