Which of the following statements is false about the melting points of fatty acids?
a. fatty acids common to animals typically have a higher melting point than those found in plants.
b. the number of double bonds in a fatty acid increases its melting point.
c. saturated fatty acids have a higher melting point than unsaturated fatty acids.
d. the number of carbons in a saturated fatty acid increases its melting point.

B. The number of double bonds in a fatty acid increases its melting point.

Explanation:

The number of double bonds in a fatty acid actually decrease its melting point.

answer: e.   sour taste

explanation: acids are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. acids are sour in taste. example: hcl

bases are those substances which dissociates in water to give ions or accepts ions. as they dissociate to give ions, they act as electrolytes and thus are electrically conductive. bases are bitter in taste. bases are slippery in nature.
