How are trans fats similar to both saturated and unsaturated?
Sandeniac
Trans fats made from plant sources of fat. Plant fats tend to comprise mostly of unsaturated fatty acids which is why oils are not solid. They are chemically altered to have more hydrogen which results in them being more solid like animal fats such as butter which are higher in saturated fatty acids. Chemically trans fats are unsaturated fats but structurally they are like saturated fats.

How do Trans fats resemble saturated fats in that?
Trans fats are man made by adding hydrogen atoms to vegetable oil. This hydrogenation allows the vegetable oil to remain solid at room temperature just like a saturated animal fat.
Is glycerol saturated?
Yes glycerol is saturated in hydrogen. Glycerol is found in both unsaturated and saturated fats and can bond with fatty acids.
What are the two categories of these are saturated and unsaturated?
Fat can be either saturated or unsaturated. It can not be both at the same time. If there is one or more double bonds between carbon atoms, the fat become unsaturated. If all the bonds between carbon atoms are single bonds, the fat becomes saturated.
What comes in saturated and unsaturated forms?
Fats, oils, and fatty acids can come in both saturated and unsaturated forms. Saturated fats have no double bonds in their molecular structure, while unsaturated fats have one or more double bonds. This structural difference affects their physical properties and implications for health.
Do you enter fat or saturated fat into the weight watchers calculator?
Enter the total fat, which includes both saturated and unsaturated fat.
Are oils saturated or unsaturated?
Oils contain both unsaturated and saturated fatty acids. See Related Links. Most oils are lower in saturated fatty acids than some solid shortenings or animal fats - except for the tropical oils.
Similarty of saturated and unsaturated fats?
Both are covalent organic esters, insoluble in water and are combustable.
True or fals Saturated zones are pores filled with air and unsaturated zones are pores filled with water?
False. Saturated zones are pores filled with water, while unsaturated zones have both water and air in the pores.
Would lard and bacon grease be classified as an unsaturated acid or a saturated acid?
Lard and Bacon grease are both mixtures of many triglyceridic fats, which are mainly UNsaturated: about 55 %.
