unsaturated fatty acids have a double carbon bonds APEX
Unsaturated fatty acids have double carbon bonds.
The double chain in the unsaturated fatty acid cause it to bent; unlike saturated fatty acid which has no double bond, is straight

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)
