The difference between an oil and a fat is conventionally one of

  • A.the degree of refining applied
  • B.physical state at room temperature
  • C.the chemical class they belong to
  • D.their origin, plant or animal

Answer: B

Both are triglycerides and the distinction is only whether the material is liquid or solid at room temperature. The state follows from the chain length and the degree of unsaturation. Palm oil is solid in Europe and liquid in the tropics.
