Question 5

Fatty acids

Answer 5

Differ in structure and can form saturated or unsaturated fats

Question 6

Unsaturated fats

Double-bonds in fatty acid which liquified at room temperature with a lower melting point (plant oils & oils)

Question 7

Saturated fats

Answer 7

No double bonds in fatty acid which are solid at room temperature (with a higher melting point (animal fats & fats)

Phospholipids

Answer 8

1. Hydrophilic, phosphorous heads
