Saturated fat does not have any double bonds. A double bond occurs when a carbon atom is joined to another carbon atom by two covalent bonds. To picture a single bond, draw two circles and draw a line between their centers but stop at their circumferences. To picture a covalent bond, draw two circles and draw two parallel lines from the outside of each circle to the outside of the other one. That is a double bond. Now draw two more like that. On one erase one of the outside lines and put two little circles where the outside line touched the circle. Label those little circles hydrogen atoms. Label that picture cis fat. On the other picture, where one of the lines touches one circle put a little circle. Label that hydrogen atom. Now draw a diagonal line to the point where the other line touches the other circle. Draw another little circle. Label that little circle hydrogen atom. Now erase the parallel lines. Call that picture Trans Fat.
Nature makes cis fat. Nature does not make trans fat. Trans means opposite. Notice the line is longer.
What else can I help you with?
Is saturated fat a trans fat?
No. Trans fats are unsaturated.
What are the types of fats?
Poly-unsaturated Mono-unsaturated Saturated
Does mayonnaise have saturated fat unsaturated fat or what type of fat?
Saturated Fat and MAYBE Trans Fat depending on the brand.
What are two type of fats?
Saturated and Unsaturated.
How are trans fats similar to both saturated and unsaturated?
Trans fats made from plant sources of fat. Plant fats tend to comprise mostly of unsaturated fatty acids which is why oils are not solid. They are chemically altered to have more hydrogen which results in them being more solid like animal fats such as butter which are higher in saturated fatty acids. Chemically trans fats are unsaturated fats but structurally they are like saturated fats.
What is worse trans fat or saturated fat?
In order to make a trans fat, an unsaturated fat must be heated to high temperatures, which greatly increases the rate of oxidation. The amount of oxidated fats in the diet is one of the chief factors in the development of atheromas in arteries. So while when eating unsaturated fats you will generally be consuming some oxidized fatty acids, when you eat trans fats you will be consuming a substantially larger quantity.
What are lipid types other than unsaturated?
The two types are saturated and unsaturated. In the unsaturated there are two subtypes: monounsaturated and polyunsaturated. There are five isomer types: cis-, trans-, ortho-, meta-, and para-
Unsaturated fatty acids that have changed to saturated fatty acids are called?
Hydrogenated fatty acids.
What one is the healthiest type of fat to eat unsaturated saturated fat trans fat or animal fat?
Fish
What is trans fat-?
an unsaturated fatty acid that has been changed to a saturated fatty acid
How much trans fat does a piece of bacon have?
There is no trans fat in bacon. It only has saturated fat and the other two healthiest fats: mono and poly unsaturated fats.
What is it called When hydrogen has been added to unsaturated fats?
When hydrogen has been added to unsaturated fats, it is called hydrogenation. This process converts unsaturated fats into saturated fats, making them solid at room temperature. However, it can also create trans fats, which are considered unhealthy.
