Saturated fats tend to be solids at room temperature. This is because the hydrocarbon tails of saturated fat molecules are straight, due to the lack of double bonding between carbon atoms.
Tuvok /ËtuËvÉk/ is one of the main characters on the television series Star Trek: Voyager. Tuvok is a member of the fictional Vulcan species who serves as the ship's Chief of Security and Chief Tactical Officer. Tim Russ portrayed Tuvok throughout the show's run, from 1995 to 2001.
In 2371, a member of the Komar species took control of Tuvok in an attempt to lead Voyager into a dark-matter nebula so that the Komar could extract the crew's neural energy. The attempt was not successful, and the alien left Tuvok's body. (VOY: Cathexis).
