What are the monomers of triglyceride?
1 glycerol and 3 fatty acids so the monomers basically are glycerol and fatty acids
Are essential fatty acids polyunsaturated fatty acids?
Yes, and also monounsaturated fatty acids. The saturated fat is the bad fat.

Only if it is organic grass fed beef. Most of that stuff you get from the feed lots has higher saturated fats and poor Omega3/Omega6 fatty acid ratios.
What is a distinguished characteristics of a saturated fatty acid?
Saturated fatty acids do not have double bonds between carbon atoms and unsaturated.
What is a distinguishing characteristics of a saturated fatty acids?
its carbon atoms have no double bonds between them.
What is a distinguish characteristics of a saturated fatty acid?
These acids have only single carbon-carbon bonds.
What is the most common building blocks of lipids?
Fatty acids and glycerol
Distinguish between saturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids?
There is no difference between saturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids. If you meant saturated fatty acids and UNsaturated fatty acids, then the unsaturated ones are the ones with double (or, theoretically, triple) bonds in the carbon chain.
What are unsaturated fatty acids?
Unsaturated fatty acids are fatty acids that have double bonds in their long carbon chains.
What are the benefits of Omega3 acids in the body?
In order for the body to function properly Omega3 acids must be included in the diet. Research has shown that Omega3 acids in the body helps lower triglycerides and reduce blood pressure, It is also associated with many other health benefits such as protection against heart disease and stroke.

What are components of fats?
Fat is made up of fatty acids and glycerol. A triglyceride is formed when a glycerol forms with three fatty acids.
Are essential fatty acids polyunsaturated fatty acids?
Yes, and also monounsaturated fatty acids. The saturated fat is the bad fat.
