Not all lipids are saturated. Unsaturated lipids come in liquid form and are not from animals. Saturated lipids are in solid form and do usually come from organisms other than plants such as animals.

∙ 13y agothey can be saturated or unsaturated, it all depends on the hydrophobic tails of the phospholipid. if one of the fatty acid tails have a double bond, then the phospholipid is unsaturated and if the fatty acids only have single bonds then its saturated

What are unsaturated fatty acids classified as?
lipids
Which organic molecule is related to lipids?
fatty acids are most closely related to lipids
What are unsaturated fatty acids?
Unsaturated fatty acids are fatty acids that have double bonds in their long carbon chains.
Is fatty acids a disaccharide?
No. Fatty acids are lipids. Disaccharides are carbohydrates.
Unsaturated fatty acids that have changed to saturated fatty acids are called?
trans fat
What are unsaturated fatty acids classified as?
lipids
Which organic molecule is related to lipids?
fatty acids are most closely related to lipids
What are two types of lipids?
There are six types of lipids: Fatty Acids Unsaturated Saturated Monosaturated Polysaturated Triglycerides
Explain the difference between saturated and unsaturated lipids?
The difference is related to which long chain fatty acid is incorporated. If it is a fatty acid that has double bonds, then it is an unsaturated lipid. If it contains fatty acids that have no double bonds, then it is a saturated lipid.
What are unsaturated fatty acids?
Unsaturated fatty acids are fatty acids that have double bonds in their long carbon chains.
Property of dietary lipids?
One property of dietary lipids is that Omega-3 fatty acids are always unsaturated. Acetic acid is the simplest form of fatty acid.
Why is beef fat a solid at room temperature?
This is because it contains more saturated fatty acids then unsaturated fatty acids. Saturated fatty acids have a higher melting point then unsaturated fatty acids.
Distinguish between saturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids?
There is no difference between saturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids. If you meant saturated fatty acids and UNsaturated fatty acids, then the unsaturated ones are the ones with double (or, theoretically, triple) bonds in the carbon chain.
Glycerol with three fatty acids attached is referred to as?
Three fatty acids attached to one glycerol molecule is called a triglyceride.
Are saturated fatty acid good for the body?
No, unsaturated fatty acids are good for body. (PUFA is every better, poly unsaturated fatty acids)
What is the difference between a saturated an a unsaturated fatty acid?
Unsaturated fatty acids have double bond or triple bonds, whereas saturated fatty acids do not.
Liquid fats called oils contain?
it contains mostly unsaturated fatty acids it contains mostly unsaturated fatty acids
