Why do most naturally occurring fatty acids have cis double bonds in them?
The cis double bond introduces a kink in the chain.
The cis double bond remains results in relatively no change in the fatty acid direction.
The double bond results in a bend in the molecule elevating the melting point of the
molecule.
The double bond results in a bend in the molecule lowering the melting point of the
molecule.
none of the above - ✔✔The double bond results in a bend in the molecule lowering the
melting point of the molecule.
