trans fat
Saturated fatty acids have only single carbon-carbon bonds.
Butter contains saturated fatty acids. We can know this because saturated fatty acids are solid at room temperature, and butter is solid at room temperature.
Refer to the related links for an illustration of a saturated fatty acid. It is an illustration of a saturated fatty acid. There are three saturated fatty acids.
Saturated fatty acids have no double covalent bonds between carbon atoms. The carbon in the chain is saturated with all the hydrogens it can hold. Saturated fatty acids account for the solid nature at room temperature of fats such as lard and butter. Unsaturated fatty acids have double bonds between carbon atoms wherever the number of hydrogens is less than two per carbon atom. Unsaturated fatty acids account for the liquid nature of vegetable oils at room temperature.
Saturated fatty acids have single carbon-to-carbon bonds (which tend to act like a rigid pole) while unsaturated fatty acids have double carbon-to-carbon bonds (which can act like hinges making the molecule flexible).

The bent structure in unsaturated fatty acids arises due to the presence of the double bonds.
Because unsaturated fatty acids have many double bonds and the atoms cannot rotate freely around those double bonds. In the saturated fatty acids, there are no double bonds (only single bonds) and so the atoms are free to rotate.
There is no difference between saturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids. If you meant saturated fatty acids and UNsaturated fatty acids, then the unsaturated ones are the ones with double (or, theoretically, triple) bonds in the carbon chain.
The double chain in the unsaturated fatty acid cause it to bent; unlike saturated fatty acid which has no double bond, is straight

Butter and lard are composed of saturated fatty acids.
saturated fatty acids contain more carbon atoms Saturated fatty acids have single carbon-to-carbon bonds.
This is because it contains more saturated fatty acids then unsaturated fatty acids. Saturated fatty acids have a higher melting point then unsaturated fatty acids.
