Saturated fats tend to be solid at room temperature while unsaturated fats tend to be liquid oils at room temperature true or false?
it is true
Are Unsaturated fats solid at room temperature?
No, they are liquid at room temperature.
Are Unsaturated fats more likely than saturated fats to be liquid at room temperature?
Saturated fats are more likely to be liquid at room temperature seeing as how these are made up of strictly single carbon-carbon bonds to form larger chains, as opposed to the unsaturated fats which involves double-bonding between the carbons in at least one part of their structure. Seeing as how a double bond is harder to break (it needs more energy to be reactive than a single bond), the molecule with more of these type of interactions will be the more stable one. Thus, the saturated fat will have a higher likelyhood of being liquid at room temperature.
How do saturated and unsaturated triglycerides compare to how tightly they pack together?
saturated fats- are evenly filled with hydrogen so the are able to stay solid at room temperature. unsaturated fats- are unable to be solidafied at room temperature unless sombode manualy solidifies it. It will not stay solidified for very long at room temperature!
What fats such as olive oil and sesame oil are produced in plants and are liquid at room temperature?
Monounstatured and polyunsaturated fats are produced by plants and are liquids at room temperature.
Is this statement true or false saturated fats tend to be solid at room temperature while unsaturated fats tend to be liquid oils at room temperature?
True. Saturated fats have a higher melting point and tend to be solid at room temperature, while unsaturated fats have a lower melting point and are typically liquid oils at room temperature.
Is this True or false saturated fats tend to be solid at room temperature while unsaturated fats tend to be liquid oils at room temperature?
True A+
Saturated fats tend to be solid at room temperature while unsaturated fats tend to be liquid oils at room temperature true or false?
it is true
A statement proved that the vegetable fats are more unsaturated than animal fats?
In general, yes. Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature and saturated fats are solid at room temperature.
Can fats be oil at room temperature?
No, you have misunderstoof the definitions. An oil is a lipid that is liquid at room temperature and a fat is a lipid that is solid at room temperature, therefore by definition a fat cannot be an oil at room temperature.
Is butter high in unsaturated fat?
Saturated. Saturated Fats are solid at room temperature (like butter), whereas Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature (like Vegetable oils).
Is this statement true or false Saturated fats tend to be solid at room temperature while unsaturated fats tend to be liquid oils at room temperature.?
True A+
What uis the difference between saturated fat and unsaturated fat?
Chemically, saturated fats have more hydrogen atoms on the fat molecules.Practically, saturated fats are solid at room temperature (butter, lard, coconut oil) while unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature (olive and other liquid vegetable oils).
Saturated fats are liquid at room temperature true or false?
It depends on the temperature in the room. Coconut fat/oil, which is almost only saturated fat, turns to a liquid at 25 degrees celcius. I would estimate that the average room temperature is about 22-24 degrees celsius, but many have above that as well. So for some people it does, for others it doesn't, depending on the exact temperature you keep in the room.
Is body fat solid or liquid?
A fat can be a solid or a liquid. Normally we refer to a liquid fat as an 'oil', but this is for a fatty compound that is liquid at room temperature. All fats can be liquified or solidified, and will still be called 'fats' no matter what.
Characteristics of hydrogenated oils?
Hydrogenated oils are made from liquid vegetable or seed oils and are created to mimic saturated fats. Saturated fats are those that are solid at room temperature. Hydrogenation, the process of polymerizing liquid fats[oils] by heating and injecting hydrogen gas into them, creates "trans-fats", or solid "plasticated" fats which we now know, (or are told), are worse for us than the saturated fats they were designed to replace. ANY fats that are solid at room temperature are either saturated fats or trans-fats.
At room temperature saturated fats are?
Solids.
