An unsaturated lipid will be what at room temp?
Room temperature is usually defined as either 20 or 25 degrees Celcius, 293 or 298 Kelvin.Room temperature is the same for any compound... unsaturated fatty acids' room temp is the same for any other compound. The state of matter at room temperature for unsaturated fatty acids is liquid, which is what I think you wanted to know. A good example of unsat. fat is vegetable oil. It is a liquid at room temperature because the unsaturation, or double bonds found throughout each molecule's "tail" structure, cause kinks in the tail that prevent the molecules from lining up tightly against each other. In saturated fats, the tails are relatively straight lines, and can therefore pack closer together, forming a solid at room temperature (a good example of this is beef fat).
What is the family that triglycerides belong to?
Triglycerides are commonly known as fats and oils. Chemically they are esters of glycerol.

When a coin is flipped what is the probability that it will come up tails?
The side heads is slightly heavier giving it a greater likely hood of landing on tails.
What are unsaturated fats in the form of liquid called?
Because of the kinks in the hydrocarbon tails, unsaturated fats can't pack as closely together, making them liquid at room temperature.
Is fats the same as fatty acid?
The difference between fatty acids and fat is that fatty acids are monomers and it is the soluble and digested form of fats while the fats are polymers n they are insoluble in our body without it,s simple form, which is called fatty acid e.g glycerols(monomers) from oil(polymer).
What happens to unsaturated tails at the sites of their double bonds?
If a tail is "unsaturated," some or all of the carbons are not bonded to the maximum number of hydrogens possible, due to double bonds. These double bonds create "kinks" in the tails; in other words, it is not a straight carbon chain. This gives rise to the ability for the lipid to have a lower freezing point because the tails don't "pack" together. This is especially important in the phospholipid bilayer of a plasma membrane. Unicellular organisms which inhabit colder-temperate climates are more likely to have unsaturated phospholipid tails. The "kinks" in the tails prevent the fluid membrane from freezing during the colder months.
Do trans or cis fats have a higher melting point?
Cis fats would have a higher melting point due to tighter packing between molecules, as the chains would be unbent. Trans fats would have kinks in the fatty acid chain and this would hinder molecular packing, thus making it looser and would subsequently liquefy more easilyTrans fats are non polar while Cis fats are polar. Cis fats have strong inter molecular attractions. So melting point of cis fats are higher than trans fats.
