The difference between fatty acids and fat is that fatty acids are monomers and it is the soluble and digested form of fats while the fats are polymers n they are insoluble in our body without it,s simple form, which is called fatty acid e.g glycerols(monomers) from oil(polymer).

No, stearic acid is a saturated fatty acid found in various animal and plant fats. It is not considered a trans fatty acid, which are mostly found in partially hydrogenated oils.

Is trans fat an unsaturated fatty acid that has been changed to a polyunsaturated fatty acid?

Trans fat is a type of unsaturated fatty acid, but it is not simply a changed polyunsaturated fatty acid. Instead, trans fats are created through a process called hydrogenation, which converts liquid vegetable oils into solid fats. This process alters the chemical structure of the fatty acids, resulting in trans isomers that can have negative health effects. Therefore, while trans fats are unsaturated, they are distinct from polyunsaturated fatty acids.


In unsaturated fats the fatty acid chain is missing some atoms of?

In unsaturated fats, the fatty acid chain is missing some hydrogen atoms, causing double bonds to form between carbon atoms. This results in less saturated fatty acids, which have a lower melting point and are typically liquid at room temperature.


How many fatty acid chains do saturated fats have?

Saturated fats have no double bonds in their fatty acid chains, which means they have only single bonds. This results in a straight molecular structure with no kinks, making them solid at room temperature.
