Is body fat solid or liquid?
A fat can be a solid or a liquid. Normally we refer to a liquid fat as an 'oil', but this is for a fatty compound that is liquid at room temperature. All fats can be liquified or solidified, and will still be called 'fats' no matter what.
What is the difference between fat and oil?
Fat is made within the body tissues of recently living animals, whereas oil is either pressed from plants, as in Olive oil, Corn oil, Peanut oil, Corn oil or Safflower oil (whatever that is), or pumped from the ground as Fossil fuels.In Food Science, Fat is solid or semi-solid at room temperature while oil is liquid at room temperature. This depends mainly on the fatty acid composition of the product (saturated vrs unsaturated fatty acids).
What is the difference between saturated fat and an saturated fat?
Saturated fats are solid at room temp (think of cooking hamburger meat, the grease becomes solid after cooling - that is saturated fat). Unsaturated fat is oily at room temperature. From this, it is easy to understand how saturated fats are bad for you, as they end up contributing to blocked arteries.
Is fat melting a chemical reaction?
No. Changes in phase (solid to liquid, liquid to gas, etc) are physical changes, not chemical ones. If you raise the temperature of solid fat and it liquefies, that's melting so it's a physical change. Atoms do not get rearranged within the molecules of fat. But... When somebody loses weight we slangily say their fat "melted away" when in reality it undergoes a chemical reaction inside the body in order to break down and disappear.
What is the difference between mayonnaise and fat free mayonnaise?
The level of fat content!
What is the structural difference between a fat that is solid at room temperature vs a fat that is a liquid at room temperature?
Usually, the one that is solid has a higher molecular weight
Is Fat content greater in solid or liquid?
If you're speaking about if there is more solid fat or liquid fat, it is pretty much all solid.
What and the difference between fats and oils?
Fats:are solid at room temperaturemade by animals, mostlyare more saturatedOils:are liquid at room temperatureare made by plants, mostlyare less saturatedBoth are lipids. The main difference is that oil is liquid at room temperature, and fat is not.

What uis the difference between saturated fat and unsaturated fat?
Chemically, saturated fats have more hydrogen atoms on the fat molecules.Practically, saturated fats are solid at room temperature (butter, lard, coconut oil) while unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature (olive and other liquid vegetable oils).
How does liquid fat become solid?
The temperature at which they turn back into solid, depends on what type of fat your talking about
What are examples of liquid solute and a solid solvent?
a liquid solid in a solid is example of an important collodial system called solid emulsion or gel. butter is one where liquid is water and solid is fat, oher eg: flesh
Is trans fat liquid or solid at room temperature?
Fat is defined as a type of liquid that is solid at room temperature and atmospheric pressure
What are examples of a solvent solute and solution?

What difference between brown fat and white fat?
The difference between them is that white fat is found in adults and brown fat is found in children.
What is a solid fat for baking or frying?
It is a fat that remains in a solid form at room temperature, like butter, as opposed to one that would be liquid, like sunflower oil.
