∙ 9y agoLipids 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

∙ 14y agowhen there is no double bond between carbon atoms in fatty acid are called satruated fatty acid
general formula: CH3(CH2)COOH
one there is one or more double bond in carbon atoms in fatty acid are present they are called unsturated fatty acid

∙ 14y agoIt 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.

Unsaturated fat is liquid at room temperature and comes from plants. Saturated fat is solid at room temperature and comes from animals.
Saturated. Saturated Fats are solid at room temperature (like butter), whereas Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature (like Vegetable oils).
True. Saturated fats have a higher melting point and tend to be solid at room temperature, while unsaturated fats have a lower melting point and are typically liquid oils at room temperature.
No, the opposite is true. Unsaturated fats are usually liquid at room temperature, while saturated fats are usually solid. This is because saturated fats have a higher melting point due to their straight molecular structure, which allows them to pack tightly together.
In general, yes. Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature and saturated fats are solid at room temperature.
Saturated fats are usually solid at room temperature, such as butter or coconut oil. Unsaturated fats, on the other hand, are typically liquid at room temperature, like olive oil or canola oil.
No, saturated fats are typically solid at room temperature. Examples include butter, lard, and coconut oil. Unsaturated fats, on the other hand, are typically liquid at room temperature.
Chemically, saturated fats have more hydrogen atoms on the fat molecules.Practically, saturated fats are solid at room temperature (butter, lard, coconut oil) while unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature (olive and other liquid vegetable oils).

A fat can be a solid or a liquid. Normally we refer to a liquid fat as an 'oil', but this is for a fatty compound that is liquid at room temperature. All fats can be liquified or solidified, and will still be called 'fats' no matter what.
Butter is solid at room temperature and comes from animals, specifically cows.
