Is saturated fats a lipid?
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.
Lipid are classified into two main forms saturated and unsaturated what are they saturated with?
Lipids that are saturated do not have double bonded hydrogen atoms to the carbon skeleton of the molecule. Instead, the molecule has all of its available spaces filled with hydrogen atoms that are bonded to each open carbon atom of the molecule. To make it simple, saturated lipids are saturated with hydrogen.
If there are all single bonds between what in the fatty acid chain then it is said to be?
... a saturated fatty acid: general formula: CH3(CH2)2nCOOH, with n = 0, 1, 2, 3, etc.
Lipid molecules that have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms possible are referred to as unsaturated?
No. Lipid molecules that are unsaturated have less hydrogen atoms because of carbon-carbon double bonds.
Is it true lipid molecules that have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms possible are referred to as unsaturated?
No. Lipids with the maximum number of hydrogen atoms are referred to as saturated.
What macromolecule is saturated?
A lipid
What macromolecule is Saturated fat?
A lipid
Is saturated fat a monomer of a lipid?
no they are not monomers.
What is the Difference between saturated and unsaturated lipid?
The difference is related to which long chain fatty acid is incorporated. If it is a fatty acid that has double bonds, then it is an unsaturated lipid. If it contains fatty acids that have no double bonds, then it is a saturated lipid.
What type of lipid is stearic acid?
saturated fatty acid
What is the most infuencial lipid in raising blood cholesterol?
saturated fat
Which lipid in a diet that most profoundly raises blood cholesterol?
saturated fat
What kind of lipid does each carbon atom in a lipid's fatty acid chain join with another carbon atom by a single bond?
saturated
Where are lipid found?
in saturated and unsaturated fatsin some vitamins and steroidsin biological membranes
Explain the difference between saturated and unsaturated lipids?
The difference is related to which long chain fatty acid is incorporated. If it is a fatty acid that has double bonds, then it is an unsaturated lipid. If it contains fatty acids that have no double bonds, then it is a saturated 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.
