Fatty acids and glycerol
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.
What are unsaturated fatty acids?
Unsaturated fatty acids are fatty acids that have double bonds in their long carbon chains.
What are components of fats?
Fat is made up of fatty acids and glycerol. A triglyceride is formed when a glycerol forms with three fatty acids.
What are the monomers of triglyceride?

What is sterified fatty acids?
Fatty acids can be sterified to a glycerol molecule.
Is fatty acids a disaccharide?
No. Fatty acids are lipids. Disaccharides are carbohydrates.
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.
What is contains carbon?
Carbon containing acids are weak acids and fatty acids for example some fatty acids are in meat
