Lipids that are saturated have two hydrogen atoms attatched to all carbon atoms

Lipids that are unsaturated have one or more carbon atoms double bonded, creating fewer hydrogen atoms attatched to the carbon backbone

It is due to the double bonds in unsaturated fats, and the lack of these in saturated fats.

All natural dietary fats contain a mix of sat. and unsat. fats, but the greater the proportion of unsat. fat, the lower the melting point.
