The body cannot make omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. These are essential fatty acids that must be obtained from the diet as our body cannot synthesize them. Omega-3 fatty acids are found in fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts, while omega-6 fatty acids are found in seeds, nuts, and vegetable oils.
The two essential fatty acids that the body can't produce are omega-3 fatty acids (such as alpha-linolenic acid) and omega-6 fatty acids (such as linoleic acid). These fatty acids must be obtained through diet as they are crucial for maintaining overall health and functioning of the body.
Fatty acids are the building blocks of fats. Fats are made up of a combination of different fatty acids. Fatty acids are the individual molecules that make up fats.
The type of fatty acids that make up oils are known as saturated fatty acids. They are usually derived from hydrolysis of the natural fats and oils.
In general, yes. This is because the unsaturated fatty acids have a double covalent bond in the fatty acid chain "tails", which do not stack neatly when put into the membranes of the cells. To correct this unbalanced stacking, the cell adds a molecule of cholesterol as a "shim" to the cell membrane to make it more stable. This pulls cholesterol out of the circulating blood, which then reduces the risk of heart disease.

Fatty acids make up cell membranes and are used as a source of energy in the human body.

They combine with glycerols to make lipids
Yes, and is actually worse than the sys form of fatty acids. The only difference between sys and trans fatty acids are the angles of the molecules. In nature, only sys fatty acids are made, but through chemistry (or through over heating oils), we are able to make trans fatty acids. The problem is that your body can only recognize the sys form. So if you have sys fatty acids in your body, your body knows how to remove them, but if you have trans fatty acids in your body, your body doesn't know how to remove them. As a result the trans fatty acids build up in your system and can cause heart disease. Sys fatty acids can cause heart disease also, but since your body is constantly removing them, it forms slower than the trans form.
"omega-3" (also written ω-3) is the name of a family of fatty acids. Fats and oils in human diet are compounds of fatty acids, and the omega-3 fatty acids form one group. We humans cannot make them in the body, but if there are some in our diet we can make others from them. Several health benefits have been claimed for fats containing omega-3 fatty acids. In particular, there is good evidence that they reduce heart attack risk factors.

very litte glycerol
Three fatty acids can combine with a molecule of glycerol through dehydration synthesis to form a triglyceride, which is a type of lipid. Triglycerides are a major component of stored fat in the body and serve as a source of energy.
There are six main types of nutrients considered indispensable, meaning your body can't make them or can't make enough, so you must get them from your diet. These are: Carbohydrates: Your body's main energy source. Fats (Lipids): Important for energy, absorbing vitamins, and protecting organs. Proteins: The building blocks for your body's tissues, muscles, and more. Vitamins: Small amounts are needed for many body processes, like boosting your immune system. Minerals: Also needed in small amounts for healthy bones, nerves, and fluid balance. Water: Absolutely essential for almost every body function.
