What is the difference in the way saturated and unsaturated fats act in the body?
The difference between saturated and unsaturated fats lies in the bond, because the shapes determine how the various fats act in the body.
Saturated fats are harmful to what body system?
Circulatory
Can the body make saturated fats when needed?
Yes, the body can synthesize saturated fats when needed through a process called lipogenesis. This occurs primarily in the liver and adipose tissue, where excess carbohydrates and proteins are converted into fatty acids, including saturated fats. While dietary intake of saturated fats is common, the body maintains the ability to produce them as necessary for various physiological functions.

Saturated fatty acids pack closely together in an orderly manner which produces a compact substance. Saturated fats are not oily in appearance or taste. And they are usually light in color. Saturated fats greatly resemble body fat in appearance and texture.
Which are formed from fatty acids with single carbon to carbon bonds?
Saturated fatty acids are formed from carbon to carbon single bonds. These molecules are typically solid at room temperature and are commonly found in animal fats and some plant oils. Consuming too many saturated fats can increase the risk of heart disease.
