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.

Is safflower oil a rich source of polyunsaturated fatty acids?

Not really. Both do contain saturated fats, but the primary components are monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Olive oil, for example, is about three-quarters monounsaturated fat, with the remaining quarter divided about equally between saturated and polyunsaturated fat.


What is the difference between monounsatured and polyunsaturated?

A monounsaturated fat is a single fat structure, while a polyunsaturated fat is several structures linked together.


What is the structural difference between a polyunsaturated fat and a saturated fat?

There are double bonds present in the fatty acid chains of a polyunsaturated but none in a saturated fat.courtesy of Edward XOX


What is the difference in chemical structure between saturated and unsaturated fats, and how does this impact their health effects?

Saturated fats have all single bonds between carbon atoms, while unsaturated fats have at least one double bond. This difference affects their health effects because saturated fats are linked to increased risk of heart disease, while unsaturated fats, especially monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, are considered healthier for the heart.


What is the difference in the molecular structure between saturated fats and unsaturated fats, and how does this difference impact their effects on health?

Saturated fats have all single bonds in their molecular structure, while unsaturated fats have at least one double bond. This difference affects their impact on health because saturated fats are linked to increased risk of heart disease and high cholesterol levels, while unsaturated fats, especially monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, are considered healthier and can help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.


What are the differences between saturated unsaturated mono saturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids?

Fats are a type of triglyceride. This is aglycerol ( H-CHOH-CHOH-CHOH-H ) molecule reacted with three fatty acids. ( R-COOH ) where R is a long chain carbon molecule. In this chain there can be single carbon carbon bonds or double carbon carbon bonds. A saturated fat is one where all bonds are single. A monounsaturated fat contains a single carbon carbon double bond. A polyunsaturated fat has more than one. If R is H-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CO-O-G it is a saturated fat. If it is H-CH2-CH2-CH=CH-CO-O-G it is monounsaturated. If it is H-CH=CH-CH=CH-CO-O-G then it has two and therefore polyunsaturated. The G stands for glycerol (Sometimes glycerine) .


Are monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats good for you?

As long as they are not 'Saturated' or 'Trans Fat', they are good for health... The main difference between good fats and bad fats is that the bad (trans and saturated) will raise your blood cholesterol levels. The good (monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat) will actually help lower it. This will in turn put you at a lower risk for heart disease.Monounsaturated fat and Polyunsaturated fat LOWER your LDL and RAISE your HDL. See below:The most well-known compound fat is the lipoprotein, which comes in several different densities, the two most famous being LDL and HDL. * Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) transports cholesterol and nutrients from your liver through the blood system and into your cells for use. * High density lipoproteins transport cholesterol away from your tissues and back to your liver where it is recycled or eliminated.

What is the difference between saturated fats and unsaturated fats, and how do they differ in terms of their impact on health?

Saturated fats are solid at room temperature and come mainly from animal sources, while unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature and come mainly from plant sources. Saturated fats are linked to an increased risk of heart disease and high cholesterol levels, while unsaturated fats, especially monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, are considered healthier and can help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease.


What are the three classification of fat?

Fat as component: Unsaturated: - polyunsaturated (1) - monounsaturated (2) Saturated (3) Fat as body mass: By Body Mass Index ( 20-24.99 normal, 25 -29.99 overweight, 30 or more is obesity). By Body Fat % (Is normal in women between 20-25%, in men 15-20%). By WHO standards ( using body complex, height and weight).

Keep total fat intake between 20 to 35 percent of calories with most fats coming from sources of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fatty acids?

To meet this guideline, focus on consuming sources of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats such as nuts, seeds, avocados, and fatty fish. Limit saturated and trans fats found in processed foods, fried foods, and fatty cuts of meat to stay within the recommended range. Monitor your overall calorie intake to ensure fats make up 20-35% of your daily caloric intake.
