The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, "In a saturated fat, you would expect to find all of the following except," we will analyze each option provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Saturated Fats**: - Saturated fats are fatty acids that have no double bonds between the carbon atoms. All carbon atoms in saturated fats are connected by single bonds. 2. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1: Single bonded carbon atoms**: - In saturated fats, all carbon atoms are indeed single bonded. This is a characteristic feature of saturated fats. - **Conclusion**: This is found in saturated fats. - **Option 2: CH3 at one end**: - Saturated fatty acids typically have a methyl group (CH3) at one end of the fatty acid chain. For example, in palmitic acid, the structure starts with CH3. - **Conclusion**: This is found in saturated fats. - **Option 3: Fatty acid attached with glycerol**: - Saturated fats can form triglycerides, which consist of one glycerol molecule attached to three fatty acids. This is true for both saturated and unsaturated fats. - **Conclusion**: This is found in saturated fats. - **Option 4: Double bonded carbon atoms fatty acid**: - Saturated fats do not contain double bonds between carbon atoms. This feature is characteristic of unsaturated fats, which have one or more double bonds. - **Conclusion**: This is NOT found in saturated fats. 3. **Final Answer**: - The correct answer is **Option 4: Double bonded carbon atoms fatty acid**.
