What are the chemical difference between unsaturated and saturated fat?
All fats contain chains of carbon atoms bonded to hydrogen atoms. In a saturated fat the carbon atoms in the chains are boned to as many hydrogen atoms as possible (that is, 2 each, with the last carbon bonded to 3) and all carbon-carbon bonds are single bonds. In an unsaturated fat some of the carbons are not bonded to the maximum number of hydrogen atoms, and those carbon atoms that are missing hydrogen atoms are double bonded to a neighboring carbon.
Groups of atoms bonded to carbon chains are known as?
Functional
Chains of atoms to this element are basic to living things?
carbon
What are straight or branched structures formed by carbon atoms linked together?
chains
Which atoms are in lipids?
They are mostly just hydrocarbons - chains of Carbon with Hydrogen atoms hanging off the sides and ends.
An element whose atoms can make straight chains branched chains and rings chains?
Carbon. Your welcome :)
Can carbon atoms bond together in straight chains bonded chains or rings?
yes
Can carbon rings can bond together in straight chains branched chains or rings?
yes

True or false Carbon atoms can bond together in straight chains?
Yes. Carbon atoms form to create certain types of chains. Straight Carbon Chains, Branched Carbon Chains, and Carbon Rings. Carbon can form single, double or triple bonds. You're welcome

All life on earth is based on chains of atoms of this element?
carbon
Does silicon form compounds made of long chains of atoms?
no but carbon does
What are fatty acid chains with all single bonds between carbon and hydrogen?
Fatty acid chains with all single bonds are saturated fatty acids. All of the carbon atoms are saturated with hydrogen atoms.
Most lipids contain long chains of which two atoms?
carbon and hydrogen
