Unsaturated fatty acids have double carbon bonds.
Saturated fatty acids do not have double bonds between carbon atoms and unsaturated.
The double bonds in unsaturated fatty acids restrict movement. They are more "kinked" upand do not pack as tightly. Saturated fatty acids have more freedom of movement and tend to pack together better. It takes more energy(higher temperature) to separate more tightly packed molecules.
Unsaturated fatty acids are better than saturated fats for letting substances in and out of the cell. This is because unsaturated fats are more porous.
trans fat
Saturated fatty acids have no double covalent bonds between carbon atoms. The carbon in the chain is saturated with all the hydrogens it can hold. Saturated fatty acids account for the solid nature at room temperature of fats such as lard and butter. Unsaturated fatty acids have double bonds between carbon atoms wherever the number of hydrogens is less than two per carbon atom. Unsaturated fatty acids account for the liquid nature of vegetable oils at room temperature.

Unsaturated fatty acids have double bond or triple bonds, whereas saturated fatty acids do not.
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.
A saturated fatty acid chain is composed of a carbon chain with only single covalent bonds. This creates a tetrahedral geometry of the atoms. An unsaturated fatty acid chain is composed of a carbon chain with one or more double covalent bonds. This creates a trigonal geometry of the atoms at the double covalent bond.
This is because it contains more saturated fatty acids then unsaturated fatty acids. Saturated fatty acids have a higher melting point then unsaturated fatty acids.
an unsaturated fatty acid that has been changed to a saturated fatty acid
No, unsaturated fatty acids are good for body. (PUFA is every better, poly unsaturated fatty acids)
Saturated fatty acids do not have double bonds between carbon atoms and unsaturated.
