Which of the following statements is FALSE? Which of the following statements is FALSE? The difference in melting temperature between a saturated fatty acid and an unsaturated fatty acid with the same chain length is only a few degrees C. Some unsaturated fatty acids are liquid at physiological temperatures. Most types of fat in many animals is used in energy production. The longer the chain length of a saturated fatty acid, the higher the melting temperature.

Saturated fatty acid may be defined as the fatty acid with the single bonds between the carbon atoms. The unsaturated fatty acid consist of double and triple bond in its structure.

The melting points differs between the saturated and unsaturated fatty acid. The saturated and unsaturated fatty acids have high difference in their melting point and this difference may changes as the double and triple bonds are increased or decreased in the fatty acid structure.

Thus, the correct answer is option (1).
