Question

Lipids exhibit different characteristics based on their structures. The image shows different examples of lipids, such as solid butter and liquid canola oil. mc004-1.jpg Photo by NIH/Bill Branson Which type of bond is found in many carbon-to-carbon bonds in canola oil, but very few carbon-to-carbon bonds in butter? C–C C=C C=H C–H

Answer 1

c=c would be the correct answer

Answer 2

One of the main differences between butter and canola oil is that are room temperature one is a solid and the other is a liquid. This change in phase is due to the bonding between carbon bonds, the more double bonds that there are present the higher the melting point and the fluidity changes. Based on this the correct answer is C=C is found in canola oil while more C-C bonds are found in butter, making option 2 (C=C) the correct answer. In addition option 3 (C=H) can be ignored since hydrogen can only make single bonds.
