No. Trans fats are unsaturated.
How do Trans fats resemble saturated fats in that?
Trans fats are man made by adding hydrogen atoms to vegetable oil. This hydrogenation allows the vegetable oil to remain solid at room temperature just like a saturated animal fat.
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.
A molecule that can be found in oils and far?
Trans fats are unsaturated fats which are uncommon in nature but can be created.
A statement proved that the vegetable fats are more unsaturated than animal fats?

Does pizza contain trans fat?
Trans fats are unsaturated fats which have have same/simlar stucture to saturated fats therefore act as saturated fats. Trans fats are present in foods which contain vegetable fat which has been hydrograted partly to me soild. Pizzas can contain trans fats due to how the fat in the pizza base is made or trans fats naturally found in cheese.

Which is better trans fats or cis fats?
Trans fats are hydrogenated unsaturated fats and they are supposed to be the worst fats there are for your health. Unsaturated fats are healthy fats and saturated fats and trans fats are unhealthy fats. Trans fats are often added to processed foods to extend the shelf life. There are no such fats as cis fats. There are certainly cis fatty acids and trans fatty acids and the difference between the two is in the hydrogen atoms positions and one could be regarded as an isomer of the other. All fats are basically triglycerides which means glycerol triesterified with 3 fatty acids.
