Animal fat
saturated
Because it contains carbon (yes this true). BUT it isn't why they're classed as saturated or un-saturated. If a hydrocarbon is saturated it is only a single bonded molecule, a un-saturated molecule is either a double and triple bonded molecule.
1,1,1-trichloroethane is an alkane and as such, contains only single covalent bonds, so it is considered saturated.

Saturated fat
Saturated aliphatic compounds or alkanes have only C-C single bonds.
Saturated hydrocarbons with the general formula: CnH2n+2.
The bond is covalent; the meaning of saturated is a single bond between carbon atoms (C-C).
In saturated fatty acids are there only single bonds in the carbon chain.
The bond is covalent; the meaning of saturated is a single bond between carbon atoms (C-C).
The saturated fatty acids have only single bonds between atom carbons; the chain is saturated with hydrogen atoms.
A type of hydrocarbon that contains carbon atoms connected only by a single bond is called saturated hydrocarbon. It is the simplest form of the hydrocarbon species.
