As a minimum, how many double bonds must be present in a lipid for it to be considered a saturated molecule?

A) 1
B) 2
C) 3
D) None of the above

Saturated Molecule

A molecule that contains only single bonds between carbon atoms and no double or triple bonds.

Double Bonds

Chemical bonds where two pairs of electrons are shared between two atoms, making the bond stronger and the molecules more rigid.

Lipid

A group of naturally occurring molecules that include fats, waxes, sterols, fat-soluble vitamins, and other components essential for cell structure and function.
