Hydrogenation adds hydrogen atoms to the double bonds in unsaturated fats which converts them to semisoild material, which is similar to that of saturated fats (they tend to be solid since their formation is generally stronger than that of unsaturated)
The similarities; (semi)solid form.
For example; margarine.

Hydrogenated oils are oils that have been chemically processed to make them solid at room temperature, similar to saturated fats. This process changes their chemical structure and can lead to negative health effects like increased risk of Heart disease.

What types of foods contain saturated lipids?
Foods high in saturated fats include animal products like fatty cuts of meat, poultry with skin, full-fat dairy products, and certain oils such as coconut oil and palm oil. Processed foods like pastries, cakes, and fried foods can also be sources of saturated fats.
Lipids that are solid at room temperature are known as?
Lipids that are solid at room temperature are known as saturated fats. They are typically found in animal products like butter and lard, as well as in some plant-based oils like coconut oil and palm oil. Consuming too much saturated fat has been linked to various health problems, including heart disease.
A lipid that is solid at room temperature is?
They are called fats {not quite the same as a fatty acid} - and they are from animal origins. They are saturated - in space they are straight like a tooth pick [and they stack pretty much like a box of tooth picks]. When C=C double bonds are included, the Lipid becomes unsaturated which gives the lipid a 'dogs leg' bend - called Oils, they do not then conform into a solid as easily as they did when they were saturated {and are liquid at room temperature}.
What is the difference between saturated fat and unsaturated fat?
I'll charitably assume that you don't have internet access properly where you live, since even a child could use Google to look this up online. Saturated fats bad. Unsaturated fats better. Polyunsaturated fats best. Trans fats not good. Hydrogenated fats bad. Unsaturated fats are more easily broken-down in our digestive system, so they cause less damage than saturated fats. They have a different structure from saturated fats, best explained as weak spots in their carbon chains. HOWEVER, carbohydrates are a much bigger danger to you, they keep your blood sugar high, which damages your arteries and all of your organs, especially the pancreas, which then can't control your blood sugar properly and the damage continues. Fat deposits can build up in the damaged areas of arteries, causing blockages. Without the damage the fats would be just pumped around to somewhere they can be useful.
Fats oils and waxes are all classified as what?
Fats, waxes and oils are all also known as lipids.
Characteristics of hydrogenated oils?
Hydrogenated oils are made from liquid vegetable or seed oils and are created to mimic saturated fats. Saturated fats are those that are solid at room temperature. Hydrogenation, the process of polymerizing liquid fats[oils] by heating and injecting hydrogen gas into them, creates "trans-fats", or solid "plasticated" fats which we now know, (or are told), are worse for us than the saturated fats they were designed to replace. ANY fats that are solid at room temperature are either saturated fats or trans-fats.
What are hydrogenated lipids?
Hydrogenated lipids are also known as fats or oils. Hydrogenated lipids were treated with hydrogen and are not as healthy as other alternatives.
What type of fat is animal fat?
Animal fats are classified as saturated fats. Eating saturated fats from butter, cream and meat, as well as trans fats found in hydrogenated oils can boost our risk of cardiovascular disease.
Cooking oils from plants like soybeans are hydrogenated in order to?
To make them saturated, or partially saturated.
Which are formed from fatty acids with single carbon to carbon bonds?
Saturated fatty acids are formed from carbon to carbon single bonds. These molecules are typically solid at room temperature and are commonly found in animal fats and some plant oils. Consuming too many saturated fats can increase the risk of heart disease.
Are hydrogenated oils the same as trans fat?
No, saturated fats and trans fats are different. Saturated fat increases low-density lipoprotein, which is bad for you. Trans fats do the same thing, but also lower high-density lipoprotein, which is good for you. Trans fats are a lot worse.
Are hydrogenated fats bad?
Yes, hydrogenated fats can be bad for health as they contain trans fats, which are linked to an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and other health problems. It is recommended to limit the intake of foods high in hydrogenated fats for better health outcomes.
What process is used to convert polyunsaturated oils into saturated fats?
olive and canola oils are examples of saturated fats
Fats made when manufacturers add hydrogen to vegetable oils?
Hydrogenated oils
olive and canola oils are examples of saturated fats?
Yes, but it is good saturated fats (monounsaturated fats).
What is healthy oil?
The healthiest oils are oils that have polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats. The healthiest oils are oils packed with saturated fats.
Is shortening a saturated fat?
Yes, shortening is typically made from hydrogenated vegetable oils, which are high in saturated fats because of the hydrogenation process used to solidify the oils. However, some newer varieties of shortening may contain less saturated fat or be trans-fat free.
