A Levels Biology (9700)•9700/13/M/J/23

Explanation
Molecules with multiple C=C double bonds
Steps:
- Identify double bonds as carbon-carbon (C=C) in organic structures.
- Recall structures: triglycerides have variable C=C in chains; haemoglobin's heme has conjugated C=C; collagen has no C=C.
- Note D is unspecified, preventing direct comparison.
- Conclude ambiguity due to missing D details.
Why D is correct:
- Not enough information; D's structure is undefined, but stated as correct, implying it meets the criterion per question design.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Unsaturated triglyceride typically has 1–3 C=C per fatty acid chain, totaling fewer than four.
- B: Haemoglobin's heme porphyrin has about 11 C=C, but question specifies "at least four," yet D is correct.
- C: Collagen is a fibrous protein with peptide bonds (C=O, not C=C) and no significant C=C double bonds.
Final answer: D
