A Levels Biology (9700)•9700/14/M/J/25

Explanation
Molecules with multiple C=C bonds
Steps:
- Recall primary structures: haemoglobin and collagen are proteins with peptide bonds; unsaturated fatty acids are lipids with hydrocarbon chains.
- Identify bonds: proteins feature mostly single bonds in backbones, while unsaturated fatty acids have C=C bonds.
- Check count: unsaturated fatty acids often include polyunsaturated types with ≥2 C=C bonds; proteins lack them in main chains.
- Eliminate options without ≥2 double bonds.
Why D is correct:
- Unsaturated fatty acids contain C=C double bonds in their chains; polyunsaturated variants have at least two, per lipid nomenclature.
Why the others are wrong:
- A. Haemoglobin: protein with single peptide bonds and aromatic rings, but no chain of ≥2 C=C bonds.
- B. Not enough information (option unspecified).
- C. Collagen: fibrous protein with single bonds in triple helix structure.
Final answer: D
