Not really. Both do contain saturated fats, but the primary components are monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Olive oil, for example, is about three-quarters monounsaturated fat, with the remaining quarter divided about equally between saturated and polyunsaturated fat.

Which oil contains mostly polyunsaturated fatty acids?
Which oil contains mostly polyunsaturated fatty acids?
What are the two essential fatty acids are?
Mono and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
What is the main nutrient in fat and oil?
Fats and oils are composed of Fatty Acid chains which are themselves the source of energy for the cell. by breaking down the fatty acids the cell releases energy which produces ATP.
What are PUFA's?
PolyUnsaturated Fatty AcidS
Are essential fatty acids polyunsaturated fatty acids?
Yes, and also monounsaturated fatty acids. The saturated fat is the bad fat.
Can all fatty acids be synthesized in the body?
No, not all fatty acids can be synthesized by the body. The body is not capable of synthesizing polyunsaturated or trans fatty acids.
When polyunsaturated oils are hydrogenated?
trans fatty acids are produced?
How does polyunsaturated fatty acids affect bipolar disorder?
no known effect
Which fat is better for you saturated fat polyunsaturated fat hydrogenated fat trans fatty acids?
polyunsaturated fat
What What are made up of fatty acids?
Fatty acids are made of two things: hydrocarbon chainsand a carboxyl group.Fatty acids can be saturated, monounsaturated, or polyunsaturated, the difference lying in bonds found within a fatty acid. A saturated fatty acid contains a maximum number of hydrogen atoms in the hydrocarbon chains. A polyunsaturated fatty acid or monounsaturated fatty acid is one that does not contain all possible hydrogen atoms. Monounsaturated fatty acids contain one carbon-carbon double bond in their hydrocarbon chain. Polyunsaturated fatty acids contain more than one.
What is fat found in vegetables?
PolyUnsaturated Fatty Acids are found in most plants and vegetables
What are two the two effects of polyunsaturated fats?
We can consider two effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids: First, as vital components of biological membranes. Fatty acids are, beside proteins, the most important components of biological membranes (i.e., plasma membrane and organelles). The more unsaturated the fatty acid is, the more water-permeable is, and also to the phenomenon called "membrane fluidity". We can find polyunsaturated fatty acids in digestive system, arteries and liver. In this case, polyunsaturated fatty acids act as structural components of a tissues and organs highly specialized of the physiological systems; and second, the metabolism of fatty acids (beta oxidation), and in particular of polyunsaturated ones, produces a high amount of acetyl-coA, a vital molecule of the citric acid cycle and eventually for the synthesis of ATP.
