Are unsaturated fats usually found in plants?
Yes, most plant fats are unsaturated.
What are plant fats?
Unsaturated fats (fats that are liquid at room temp)
How are trans fats similar to both saturated and unsaturated?
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.
What are fats that tend to be liquids such as plant oils?
unsaturated fats
Unsaturated fats are considered to be healthier than?
Unsaturated fats (fats from plant foods) are generally considered to be healthier than saturated fats (animal fats). However, this does NOT mean that you can't ever eat steak or lamb chops or whatever. In small amounts, saturated fats are perfectly healthy.
Which fats are found in fish oils and plant oils and are good for the body?
unsaturated fats
A statement proved that the vegetable fats are more unsaturated than animal fats?
In general, yes. Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature and saturated fats are solid at room temperature.
Examples of unsaturated fats?
Unsaturated fats are plant fats. They are unsaturated because their carbons do not have the full amount of hydrogens attached and they have double bonds. These fats are thought to be better for your heart health than saturated fats which are fats found in animal products. Examples of unsaturated fats: Olive oil Canola oil sunflower oil Safflower oil Flax seed oil there are may more. Unsaturated fats can be monounsaturated or poly unsaturated.
Do unsaturated fats mainly come from plant foods?
i dont know. do they?
Are plant fats unsaturated?
most plant fats are unsaturated, but your subject is diet and weight loss so you should always check your food and make sure you still are eating properly and exercising
Are unsaturated fats solid?
Unsaturated fats are generally not solid. They are often found in plant oils. Saturated fats, on the other hand, are solid because they have the maximum number of hydrogens bonded. They are generally found in animal fats. One way of explaining why saturated fats are solid is that because they have the maximum number of hydrogens bonded, they tend to be linear molecules. On the other hand, unsaturated fats have one of more double bonds, bending the molecule. As a result, the saturated fats "pack" together better than the bend unsaturated fats, allowing for stronger intermolecular interactions, increasing the melting point.
What foods supply saturated and unsaturated fat?
Most foods which contain any fat supply both. The foods most rich in saturated fats are from animal source - butter, pork, liver Unsaturated fats are found in most oily plant origin foods like nuts, seeds, olives, however salmon, eggs (and other animal source lean produce) also contain unsaturated fats.
