Question

Palm oil and coconut oil are more like animal fats than are other plant oils. Because they _____ than other plant oils, they may contribute to cardiovascular disease. See concept 5.3 (page 72) view available hint(s) palm oil and coconut oil are more like animal fats than are other plant oils. Because they _____ than other plant oils, they may contribute to cardiovascular disease. See concept 5.3 (page 72) contain more double bonds contain fewer double bonds are less soluble in water contain less hydrogen contain more sodium

Answer 1

As the oils contained in the palm and coconut are made of saturated fats as compared to the unsaturated fat oil in other plants and hence contain fewer double bonds are less soluble in water

Step-by-step explanation:

• The saturated is a type of fatty acid, containing single bonds and tends to have a higher melting point, including cheese, butter, and creams. Cardiovascular disease has a stronger relationship with the saturated fat intake associated with high blood pressure.

• The types of cancers associated with this disease is that of breast cancer, Colorectal cancer, Ovarian Cancer, and Prostate cancer, also these saturated fats have shown a considerable effect on the bone's health.

Answer 2

Palm oil and coconut oil are more like animal fats than are other oil. Because they highly saturated contain no or fewer double bonds than other plant oils.

Composition of coconut oil

Coconut oil contain saturated lauric acid, saturated myristic acid, saturated caprylic acid, saturated decanoic acid and unsaturated oleic acid.

Composition of palm oil

Palm oil contains saturated myristic, palmitic and steric acid. It also contains oleic monounsaturated acid and linoleic polyunsaturated acid.

Nature

They are semisolid at room temperature. Oil is that type of lipids which is liquid at room temperature due to the presence of saturated fatty acid. Both type of oil mention in text have high degree of saturation and are semi solid at room temperature .
