Solution

The statement that is not true concerning saturated lipids, eg fatty acids, is "They have multiple double bonds in the carbon chains of their fatty acids."

Saturated fats are fats that have all single bonds between the carbons in their fatty acid chains. This means they are "saturated" with hydrogen atoms. On the other hand, unsaturated fats have one or more double bonds in their fatty acid chains, which means they have fewer hydrogen atoms. Therefore, the statement that saturated fats have multiple double bonds is incorrect.
