Lipids.

∙ 6y agoFats and oils are known as triacylglycerols (also referred as triglycerides or neutral fats). Triacylglycerols are nonpolar, water-insoluble substances and fatty acid triesters of glycerol. Triacylglycerols function as energy reservoirs in animals and are therefore their most abundant class of lipids even though they are not components of biological membranes.
Fats and oils are complex mixtures of simple and mixed triacylglycerols whose fatty acid compositions vary with the organism that has produced them, e.g., plant oils are usually richer in unsaturated fatty acid residues that are animal fats, as the lower melting points of oils imply.
According to above, fats and oils are the same kinds of substances. The difference lies in their physical aspect at room temperature (RT). Fats are solid substances at RT while oils are liquids.
