in general there are three types of fats: unsaturated (cis), saturated and trans fats. unsaturated fats refer to those with tails that contain at least one double bond. the configuration of the molecule around the double bond could be straight (trans) or bent (cis). See below. /=/ ---> trans /=\ ---> cis Conversely, saturated fats are those that have no double bonds and conform to the CnH2n+2 rule.
No, saturated fats and trans fats are different. Saturated fat increases low-density lipoprotein, which is bad for you. Trans fats do the same thing, but also lower high-density lipoprotein, which is good for you. Trans fats are a lot worse.

Trans fats have a different structure than saturated fats, specifically the chemical structure is more rigid, allowing them to be solids at room temperature and thus not easily broken down or digested in the body.
Hydrogenated fats.
Yes, they leave your body. But, these fats are hard for your body to break down because they have a different structure than other fats. Trans fats have an extra molecule that is added during the manufacturing process. Be aware that trans fats increase your risk of developing heart disease.
Saturated and Unsaturated.
Trans fats are hydrogenated unsaturated fats and they are supposed to be the worst fats there are for your health. Unsaturated fats are healthy fats and saturated fats and trans fats are unhealthy fats. Trans fats are often added to processed foods to extend the shelf life. There are no such fats as cis fats. There are certainly cis fatty acids and trans fatty acids and the difference between the two is in the hydrogen atoms positions and one could be regarded as an isomer of the other. All fats are basically triglycerides which means glycerol triesterified with 3 fatty acids.
There are several types of fat. I assume we are talking about dietary fat here. Harmful fats include saturated and trans fat. Healthier fats include monounsaturated, polyunsaturated, and omega-3 fatty acids. There are other types that are indicated by a double bond placement between carbon atoms which include omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids. Fats are different from subsections of lipids.
Monounsaturated fats, polysaturated fats, and saturated fats.
Types of fat: 1. Harmful Dietary Fat: a. Saturated fat b. Trans fat 2. Healthier Dietary Fat a. Monousaturated fat b. Polyunsaturated fat
