Technically yes, however, Saturated Fats are better sub-catagorized under fats themselves. I say that Saturated Fats are technically Lipids because Lipids are composed of: Fats, Oils, and Waxes.

Why are the shapes of the lipid molecules different between saturated and unsaturated fats?
Because the unsaturated fats contains double bonds between some of the carbons, saturated fats only contain single bonds between all of the carbons. The double bonding gives the molecules a different goemetry.
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.
What is an example of a saturated plant lipid?
a example of a lipid is cholesterol and hormones. Next answer: The above is not quite correct since it does not really address the question of a saturated lipid: Lipids: long carbon chains with mostly hydrogens attached. They are hydrophobic (nonpolar; does not break down in water). Saturated fats: long chains of lipids that physically stack atop one another very well. They have the maximum possible number of H atoms attached to every C atom. Unsaturated fats: lipid chains that do not stack neatly due to physical kinks in the molecule chain caused by multiple bonds (uneven charge distribution). Results from a gap where there is no H and thus a double bond forms between two C atoms. Plants have mostly unsaturated fats. There are, however, many saturated fats found in plants. Oleic acid is a common one, as is linoleic acid. Some plant-derived oils have a high saturated fat ratio, such as palm and coconut oil.
What is the lipids that contain the maximum number of carbon and hydrogen possible?
A saturated hydrocarbon. Fats of a solider nature.
What are fats like triacylglycerols are the macromolecule?
lipid
Can fats be oil at room temperature?
No, you have misunderstoof the definitions. An oil is a lipid that is liquid at room temperature and a fat is a lipid that is solid at room temperature, therefore by definition a fat cannot be an oil at room temperature.
Which are formed from fatty acids with single carbon to carbon bonds?
saturated fats for plato A

Lipids that are solid at room temperature are known as?
If a lipid is saturated, then it is a saturated fat and is solid at room temperature (saturated means it has the maximum number of hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon atoms in the atomic structure). If the lipid is unsaturated, then it is an oil that is a liquid at room temperature. Remember: lipids are a broad term covering any fat soluble substances such as fats, oils, fat soluble vitamins, waxes, etc.
What fats are found in animal products?
saturated fats .
What are hydrogenated lipids?
Hydrogenated lipids are also known as fats or oils. Hydrogenated lipids were treated with hydrogen and are not as healthy as other alternatives.
Is carbohydrates saturated fats?
No, carbohydrates are entirely different from saturated fats.
What macromolecule is saturated?
A lipid
What is Another name for fats?
A lipid. A lipid.
1 glycerol plus 3 fatty acids equals what?
a fat molecule, or a lipid. Two common fats formed are saturated and unstaurated
Solid fats have a high proportion of .?
Solid fats have a high proportion of saturated fats.
