Yes, that's why they're called "saturated" because they're saturated with "H" and have all single bonds. This is also an easy way to remember it. Conversely unsaturated have less Hydrogens (and have double bonds)
A saturated fat. Saturated with hydrogen at the bonding site freed up by lack of carbon-carbon double bonds. This fat packs tightly and is solid at room temperature.

The chemical structure of a saturated fat is fully saturated with hydrogen atoms, and does not contain double bonds between carbon atoms. Unsaturated fats, on the other hand, are found foods such as nuts, avocados, and olives. They are liquid at room temperature and differ from saturated fats in that their chemical structure contains double bonds.
Wow, that sentence was saturated with rudeness and stupidity.
Type your answer here... The molecule contains no carbon double bonds.
yes
It depends on the length of the fatty acid chain. A fatty acid that has the maximum number of hydrogen atoms is saturated. The maximum number of hydrogen atoms will occur when the carbon atoms are all single-bonded to one another (no double bonds).
Saturated fat turns solid when it cools. Saturated fat consists of triglycerides containing only saturated fatty acid radicals. To give you a better idea of what this means, a fat is composed of carbon bonding to hydrogen and a few other elements(Not really necessary to know for this), in a saturated fat, every carbon contains the maximum amount of bonds it can have, four bonds. In a unsaturated fat, the carbon has a double bond to a carbon, and therefore isn't holding the maximum amount of hydrogen. Here's a picture. H H H H H H H | | | | | | | C-C-C-C=C-C-C | | | | | | | H H H H H H H |= Single Bond = is a double bond.
A fatty acid is saturated when it contains the maximum number of hydrogen atoms along it's chain. There are no kinks aka. double bonds between any of the carbon atoms. A fatty acid that is unsaturated has double bonds and therefore is not saturated with a maximum number of hydrogen atoms.
A fat molecule is made of a chain of carbon atoms making a "backbone" and a bunch of hydrogens along the outside. In a saturated fat, the carbon backbone has the maximum number of hydrogens it can accept. In an unsaturated fat, the carbon backbone has made one or more double bonds within the backbone and so have less than the maximum number of hydrogens around the outside.
All fats contain chains of carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms. In a saturated fat the carbon atoms in the chains are boned to as many hydrogen atoms as possible (that is, 2 each, with the last carbon bonded to 3) and all carbon-carbon bonds are single bonds. In an unsaturated fat some of the carbons are not bonded to the maximum number of hydrogen atoms, and those carbon atoms that are missing hydrogen atoms are double bonded to a neighboring carbon.
Fat can be either saturated or unsaturated. It can not be both at the same time. If there is one or more double bonds between carbon atoms, the fat become unsaturated. If all the bonds between carbon atoms are single bonds, the fat becomes saturated.

To be a saturated fat, the lipid has no double bonds. If it has at least one double bond, the lipid is an unsaturated fat.
Saturated fats are saturated with hydrogen atoms.
