Accepted Answer

It creates kinks in the chain, preventing tight packing and lowering the melting point.

Answer

It has no effect on the physical properties of the fatty acids.

Answer

It creates a linear structure, increasing the melting point.

Answer

It allows for tight packing, increasing the melting point.
