Q. Consider the following statements regarding saturated and unsaturated fats:

1. Saturated fat has no double bonds, while unsaturated fat has at least one double bond.
2. Saturated fats contain more energy in comparison to unsaturated fats.

Which of the above statements is/are correct?
Answer: Only 1 is correct
Notes: Saturated fats have no double bonds, being fully saturated with hydrogen atoms, whereas unsaturated fats have at least one double bond in their fatty acid chains. Both types contain similar energy per gram, so statement 2 is incorrect. Thus, only statement 1 is correct, reflecting the chemical structure differences between the two.
