The chemical structures mainly, I believe one takes a trans shape where as the other uses the cis shape, though I don't remember which is which.
Plant or animal oils.
Minerals
Animal fats and plant oils are made up of glycerol and fatty acids.
Margarine is made with oils and artificial ingredients, butter is made from cream, shortening is made from oils and sometimes animal fats.
Soap is made using animal fat or plant oils.
Mineral oil no. Fish oil, animal oil and plant oils yes.
Acrylic materials are made from oils, usually fossil fuel oil, but some can be made from vegetable oils.
Hydraulic oils are substances that are hot, while refrigeration properties are cold.
Soaps are formed by the reaction between an alkali and the fatty acids found in vegetable oils and animal fats. Detergents are synthetic cleaners so by definition detergents are “soapless”.
Plants and animals do not store lipids the same way. Plants store them in the cell wall, which animal cells do not have. Plant lipids are oils, while animal lipids are more concentrated fat.
As far as I know all plant oils are found in their seeds and are extracted by crushing.
Many plant and some animal cells use oil for energy storage .
