It is a fatty acid lipid [Lipids are Oils from Plant sources and Fats from Animal sources] that contains more than one [unsaturating] -C=C- double bond.
Saturation, in this instance, refers to the state where all potential Carbon sites of double bond formation are taken by hydrogen atoms.
Polyunsaturated fatty acids are carboxylic acids (organic acids containing the -COOH g.roup) which have long carbon chains containing many double bonds. 'Poly' means many, and unsaturated means 'contains multiple bonds'. In this case the multiple bonds are >C=C<
This is a lipid which has many double bonds. It is often found in liquid form because of this. If the bonds are filled by hydrogen atoms, then it is said to be saturated and is found in solid form.
When a fatty acid is polyunsaturated that means it has more than one (poly) double bond (unsaturated).
Is a healthy fat found in cold water fish also in nuts and dairy products

A fat is saturated when all of the carbon atoms in the fatty acid chains are bonded to at least two hydrogens. A fat is unsaturated when there is at least one double bond between carbons in the fatty acid chains, and it is polyunsaturated when there are multiple double bonds. The hydrocarbon chains of polyunsaturated fats bend at the places where there are double bonds and this causes them to have low melting points - the fat molecules do not align close together.
Fat is used as both an energy supply and insulation. The hump of a camel is filled with fat, which is slowly used up when there is no food to eat. Polar bears have a heavy layer of fat to protect their internal organs from the harsh temperatures of the Arctic. It is also used as a median for the transport of fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamin A, D, and K, etc. Consuming fat increases your satiety levels (feeling of fullness). Polyunsaturated fat can in fact reduce blood cholesterol, which can be beneficial for many people. The message here is not to cut fat out but to eat more healthy monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats and less saturated fats.
Those fatty acids which have several double bonds are called unsaturated fatty acids, for e.g, palmitoleic acid is of 16 carbon and contain one double bond at 9th position, Linoleic acid is consist of 18 carbon and have two double bond at 9th and 12th position respectively. Another is Arachidonic acid which is 20 carbon long and contain 4 double bonds on 5,8,11,14 position Unsaturated fatty acids are liquid at room temprature, and are loosley packed as compare to saturated fatty acids.
It has a huge fat globule.Nucleus is near the border of cell
No, bacteria do not grow on fat
polyunsaturated fat
A monounsaturated fat is a single fat structure, while a polyunsaturated fat is several structures linked together.
Saturated Fat is worse as it damages your Heart
monounsaturated fat
The more polyunsaturated fats you eat, the more vitamin E you will get.
