Saturated fats are typically solid at room temperature and have a straight-chain structure, which allows them to pack tightly together. Common sources of saturated fats include animal products like butter, cheese, and fatty cuts of meat, as well as some plant-based oils, such as coconut and palm oil. Visually, they often appear as creamy or solid blocks, rather than liquid. In contrast to unsaturated fats, which are usually liquid, saturated fats maintain their shape when chilled.

What are examples of saturated substances?
Examples of saturated substances include saturated fats like animal fats and coconut oil, saturated solutions like saltwater, and saturated hydrocarbons like methane and propane. Saturated substances have reached their maximum capacity to dissolve or combine with other substances at a given temperature and pressure.
How are trans fats similar to both saturated and unsaturated?
Trans fats made from plant sources of fat. Plant fats tend to comprise mostly of unsaturated fatty acids which is why oils are not solid. They are chemically altered to have more hydrogen which results in them being more solid like animal fats such as butter which are higher in saturated fatty acids. Chemically trans fats are unsaturated fats but structurally they are like saturated fats.
Which are formed from fatty acids with single carbon to carbon bonds?
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.
