What else can I help you with?
How can you determine whether a fat primarily contains saturated or unsaturated fatty acids?
To determine if a fat contains saturated or unsaturated fatty acids, you can look at its physical state at room temperature. Saturated fats are solid, while unsaturated fats are liquid. This is because saturated fats have straight chains of carbon atoms, making them pack tightly together, while unsaturated fats have kinks in their chains, preventing them from solidifying.
Is saturated fat a monomer of a lipid?
No, saturated fat is not a monomer of a lipid. Monomers of lipids are fatty acids, which can be saturated or unsaturated. Saturated fats consist of long chains of saturated fatty acids.
What molecule can be saturated and unsaturated?
The terms saturated and unsaturated or typically used for hydrocarbons -- long chains of carbon atoms. A chain is saturated when there are no double bonds between any carbon atoms. The term unsaturated fat is based on this very idea.
Is wax a saturated or unsaturated fat?
Wax is a saturated fat.
What is unsaturated fat?
Unsaturated fat means that it has not yet been saturated by carbon.
What type of fat bonds carbonhydrogen chains?
Saturated fats have carbon-hydrogen chains with single bonds between carbon atoms. Unsaturated fats have carbon-carbon double bonds, leading to kinks in the carbon-hydrogen chains.
Does stilton cheese have saturated or unsaturated fat in it?
It has saturated.
Is sesame oil saturated or unsaturated fat?
saturated
Are noodles saturated or unsaturated fat?
Noodles are composed mainly of starch, therefore they are not made of fat, whether saturated or unsaturated.
Fatty acid chains with all single bonds between carbon and hydrogens?
saturated fat. unsaturated has double bonds. thats why unsaturated in more healthy for you they can bend and flex. and saturated fats are solid at room temp
What are the types of fats?
Poly-unsaturated Mono-unsaturated Saturated
Is corn oil saturated or unsaturated fat?
Corn oil is mostly unsaturated. It contains about 13% saturated fatty acids.
