How do you know if a lipid is 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.
Term used for a lipid that has no double bonds or fully hydrogenated...?
Saturated Fat. The double bond occurs when you remove a hydrogen, so when a fat is fully hydrogenated it has no double bonds.
What foods contain fats that would have at least one double bond in their carbon skeleton?
Peanut oil, a plant product, is an unsaturated fat, which means it contains at least one double bond.
What is true of fats.?
True of saturated fat is that, it has not a single set of double bond between two near by carbon atoms.
What are the differences between saturated and unstaurated lipids?
1.Saturated fat is solid fat at room temperature whereas unsaturated fat is liquid at room temperature. 2. Saturated fat is single bond fat whereas unsaturated fat is double or triple bond fa t. 3.Saturated fat is animal fat whereas unsaturated fat is plant fat. 4. Saturated fat can engender severe diseases if taken in excess whereas unsaturated fat is not harmful if taken in excess but is merely stored as subcutaneous fat.
Does fat have each of its carbon atoms joined to another carbon atom by a single bond?
In a saturated fat, yes. Monounsaturated fat has a double bond. Polyunsaturated fats have multiple double bonds.

What describes a fatty acid that has one double bond?
saturated fat
Is an alkene a saturated or a unsaturated fat?
Alkenes are unsaturated because they contain a double bond.
What type of bond makes a saturated fat into an unsaturated fat?
An unsaturated fat is a fat or fatty acid in which there is at least one double bond within the fatty acid chain.Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds between the carbon atoms of the fatty acid chain and are thus fully saturated with hydrogen atoms.(Wikipedia)
What is true of saturated fat?
True of saturated fat is that, it has not a single set of double bond between two near by carbon atoms.
If you isolate a fatty acid with one double bond you know the fatty acid is a?
A monounsaturated fat
What is the difference between saturated fat and regular fat?
There is no way to compare saturated fat with regular fat because in that context, regular fat does not exist! Carbon compounds can form three types of attachments with other atoms. They can share a single bond, a double bond, or a triple bond. A saturated fat is a fat where every carbon atom is attached to every other atom by a single bond. A mono-unsaturated fat, is a fat that contains one double bond. Poly unsaturated fats contain many double bonds.
What foods contain fats that would have at least one double bond in their carbon skeleton?
Peanut oil, a plant product, is an unsaturated fat, which means it contains at least one double bond.
A fat with no carbon-carbon double bonds that is usually solid at room temperature is said to be a?
Saturated fat. Double bonds = unsaturated One double carbon-carbon bond would be monounsaturated. Many double carbon-carbon bonds would be polyunsaturated.
What makes fat saturate or unsaturated?
Unsaturated fats have at least one double bond in one of the fatty acids. Saturated fats have no double bonds.
