Butter, gee, lard, coconut oil (very good for use in cooking)
Yes, but it is good saturated fats (monounsaturated fats).
olive and canola oils are examples of saturated fats

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.
No, saturated fats are typically solid at room temperature. Examples include butter, lard, and coconut oil. Unsaturated fats, on the other hand, are typically liquid at room temperature.
You have one or more double bonds between carbon atoms in unsaturated fat molecules. You have no such double bonds in the structure of saturated fat molecules. You have all the single bonds between the carbon atoms.
No, carbohydrates are entirely different from saturated fats.
Fats are classified as saturated, monounstaturated or polyunstaturated. Saturated fats are solid at room temperature. Animal products --meats, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy products--and solid shortenings are the major sources of saturated fats. Tropical oils such as coconut oil and palm kernal oil are also rish in saturated fats. Polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fates are liquid at room temperature. Polyunsaturated fats are found in vegetable oils such as corn oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil and cottonseed oil. High levels of monounsaturated fats are found in olive oil and canola oil.
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.
Solid fats have a high proportion of saturated fats.
Saturated fats are saturated with hydrogen atoms.
An oil is a type of fat. Fats are divided into saturated and unsaturated. Generally, saturated fats come from animals and are solid at room temperature, and unsaturated fats come from plant sources and are liquid at room temperature. Oils are most often examples of unsaturated fats, such as canola oil.
