What do solid fats have a high porportion of?
They have a high number of saturated bonds.
What do lipids that are referred to as oils have?
high degree of unsaturated bonds
What is an example of a saturated plant lipid?
a example of a lipid is cholesterol and hormones. Next answer: The above is not quite correct since it does not really address the question of a saturated lipid: Lipids: long carbon chains with mostly hydrogens attached. They are hydrophobic (nonpolar; does not break down in water). Saturated fats: long chains of lipids that physically stack atop one another very well. They have the maximum possible number of H atoms attached to every C atom. Unsaturated fats: lipid chains that do not stack neatly due to physical kinks in the molecule chain caused by multiple bonds (uneven charge distribution). Results from a gap where there is no H and thus a double bond forms between two C atoms. Plants have mostly unsaturated fats. There are, however, many saturated fats found in plants. Oleic acid is a common one, as is linoleic acid. Some plant-derived oils have a high saturated fat ratio, such as palm and coconut oil.
What are lipid tests for?
The purpose of blood lipid testing is to determine whether abnormally high or low concentrations of a specific lipid are present.

What is the the difference in the composition of saturated fat and unsaturated fat?
The chemical structure of saturated lipids is fully saturated with hydrogen atoms, and does not contain double bonds between carbon atoms where as the chemical structure of an unsaturated lipid contains double bonds.
Will eating something high in cholesterol the night before having blood work alter the lipid panel results?
It could do. Also, be aware that most of the cholesterol in your body is made from saturated fat, so watch your saturated fat intake too.
What are saturated Hydrocarbons?
Saturated hydrocarbons have every possible bonding site on the carbon backbone that could bond to a hydrogen bonded to a hydrogen. All carbon-carbon bonds are single. These hydrocarbons are rigid and have high melting temperatures. Lard, Crisco, Butter, and Margarine are saturated.Unsaturated hydrocarbons don't and therefor contain one or more double or triple carbon-carbon bond(s). These hydrocarbons are "floppy" and have lower melting temperatures. Cooking and Salad oils are unsaturated.
How can you control your blood lipid levels?
You can control your blood lipid levels by not consuming foods that are high in saturated fat and trans fat. You can also watch your weight and exercises on a regular basis. Making diet changes like eating oats, cold-water fish also can help to reduce triglyceride levels.
What is the differnce between saturated and unsaturated fats?
Saturated fat: is fat that consists of triglycerides containing only saturated fatty acids. non-saturated: fat is a fat or fatty acid in which there are one or more double bonds in the fatty acid chain. A fat molecule is monounsaturated if it contains one double bond, and polyunsaturated if it contains more than one double bond.
List and discuss five food in high in saturated animal fat?
Saturated fatty acids haven't any double bonds between the carbon atoms chain, the carbon atoms chain totally saturated with hydrogen atoms. Animal fatty foods are containing high proportion of saturated fats such as cream, cheese, butter, ghee, suet, tallow, lard, and fatty meats. Besides of animal foods certain vegetable products such as coconut oil, cottonseed oil, palm kernel oil, chocolate, and many prepared foods are high in saturated in fats.Butter:Butter contains high amounts of saturated fats. Foods made with butter also contain high amounts of saturated fat.Poultry:Such as chicken, turkey and duck all contain saturated fat, but the highest amounts of saturated fat are found in their skin.Whole milk:Whole milk and the products made from whole milk contain significant amount of saturated fats.Processes meats:Processes meats are high in saturated fats, these processed meats are also high in calories and have limited nutritional valueEggs:Egg yolk is high in saturated fats and also yolk contains high amounts of cholesterol too.Red meats:Red meats are containing rich amounts of saturated fats.
What vegetable oils are high in saturated fats?
Coconut oil is high in saturated fat.
What are lipid tests for?
The purpose of blood lipid testing is to determine whether abnormally high or low concentrations of a specific lipid are present.
