Q. Which of the following statements correctly differentiates between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids?
1.Saturated fatty acids contain only single bonds between carbon atoms, allowing them to pack tightly and remain solid at room temperature.
2.Unsaturated fatty acids contain one or more double bonds, which creates kinks in the chain, typically keeping them liquid at room temperature.
3.Trans-fats are a type of unsaturated fat that has been industrially hydrogenated to behave like saturated fats.
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
