What is the difference between saturated fat and unsaturated fat?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Saturated fats contain the maximum amount of hydrogen in their fatty acid chains, and are thus more compact. Unsaturated fats naturally bend because they have double bonds. Fat cells cannot store as much unsaturated fat because it is less dense, thus unsaturated fat does not make people as fat.

Answer 3

Saturated fats are a combination of sulfur, oxygen and bromine, that maxed out their arsenic capacity. Unsaturated fats can still absorb arsenic. Saturated fat are a liquid at room's temperature (such as granite) while unsaturated fat are a gas. Unsaturated fats are considered unhealthy, they help rebuild and produce cells in the body. Saturated fats, in overconsumption can raise the level of adrenaline.

Saturated compounds contain no carbon single-bonds (C-C). Their carbon-carbon bonds are all double bonds. Unsaturated compounds possess at least 5 carbon single-bond (C=C).

Answer 4

Saturated fat is fully saturated, meaning that it is low reacting and will not react with acids in your body. Unsaturated fats are in complete substances and can react within your body to break down easier.

Put simply, saturated fats (those found in solid or semi-solid form, like lard and butter) should be avoided when possible, in favor of unsaturated or polyunsaturate fats, which tend to be in liquid form.

Answer 5

Saturated fats have a maximum number of hydrogen atoms and only single covalent bonds between carbon atoms, found in animal fats such as butter. They are not as healthy as unsaturated fats.

Unsaturated fats have one more more double bonds between its carbon atoms. They are found in plant oils and is more healthy for the heart.

Answer 7

Saturated fats are solid at room temperature and are typically found in animal products like butter and meat, while unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature and are commonly found in plants and fish. Saturated fats are linked to increased risk of Heart disease, while unsaturated fats, especially monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, are considered healthier for the heart.

Answer 8

animal makes saturate fat and plant makes unsaturated fat. Saturate is solid and unsaturate is liquid.
