Which statement is false? a. The number of double bonds in a fatty acid affects its melting point. b. Naturally occurring fatty acids usually have an even number of carbons. c. Wax esters contain long chain fatty acids and long chain alcohols. d. Triacylglycerols are polar due to their ester functional groups.

Respuesta :

Answer:

d. Triacylglycerols are polar due to their ester functional groups.

Explanation:

Triacylglycerols are nonpolar due to the ester bond that forms between the glycerol polar hydroxyl (-OH) group and the fatty acid polar carboxylic acid (COOH) group. This leads to the release of a water molecule.
