What are names for saturated fatty acids?
Butter and lard are composed of saturated fatty acids.
What type of fatty acids dose butter contain and how do you know?
Butter contains saturated fatty acids. We can know this because saturated fatty acids are solid at room temperature, and butter is solid at room temperature.
Is butter considered a lypid?
Yes because butter contains saturated fatty acids
What fats are soild at room temperature?
Saturated Fatty Acids
Why butter is harmful than oil?
Because butter contain saturated fatty acids and cholesterol; it is a product of animal origin.
Which fatty acids should be avoided?
Try to stay away from saturated fatty acids which are in cream, butter, lard etc. Or at least keep them to a minimum
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.
Which foods contains a large quantity of saturated fatty acids?
All fats of animal origin (butter, lard, cheeses, etc.).
What fatty acid is solid at room temperature?
This depends on how many carbon atoms. There are several saturated fatty acids and all are solid at room temperature. They contain only single bonds in a very long straight hydro-carbon chain.
What is the difference between a saturated and ' unsaturated fatty acid?
Saturated fatty acids have no double covalent bonds between carbon atoms. The carbon in the chain is saturated with all the hydrogens it can hold. Saturated fatty acids account for the solid nature at room temperature of fats such as lard and butter. Unsaturated fatty acids have double bonds between carbon atoms wherever the number of hydrogens is less than two per carbon atom. Unsaturated fatty acids account for the liquid nature of vegetable oils at room temperature.
What are fat made up of?
Fats are made up of glycerol and fatty acids. Each fat molecule has one molecule and three molecules of fatty acids. Fats can be unsaturated or saturated.
What type od triglyceride tend to be solids at room temputre and why which are liquids and why?
Saturated fats tend to be solids at room temperature. This is because the hydrocarbon tails of saturated fat molecules are straight, due to the lack of double bonding between carbon atoms. As a result, the saturated fat molecules are more compact, allowing them to exist as solids at lower temperatures. Examples: butter and lard.
