Saturated fats are lipids that take on a solid form at room temperature. Butter is the prime example for what characteristics a saturated fat has. 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.
Hydrogenated oils are made from liquid vegetable or seed oils and are created to mimic saturated fats. Saturated fats are those that are solid at room temperature. Hydrogenation, the process of polymerizing liquid fats[oils] by heating and injecting hydrogen gas into them, creates "trans-fats", or solid "plasticated" fats which we now know, (or are told), are worse for us than the saturated fats they were designed to replace. ANY fats that are solid at room temperature are either saturated fats or trans-fats.

The general recommendation is no more than 20 grams of saturated fats per day.
No, carbohydrates are entirely different from saturated fats.
In general, yes. Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature and saturated fats are solid at room temperature.
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.
Solid fats have a high proportion of saturated fats.
Yes, but it is good saturated fats (monounsaturated fats).
Saturated fats are saturated with hydrogen atoms.
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.
The unsaturated fats should be avoided not the saturated fats.
