Is saturated fats better than saturated fats?
Unsaturated fats are healthier than saturated fats. Saturated fats are triglycerides with a saturated fatty acid. Saturated fats contain no double bonds and are fully saturated with Hydrogens. Each carbon in a saturated fat is bonded to a Hydrogen atom. Because of this structure the levels of "bad" cholesterol (LDL) can increase and can clog arteries. On the other hand, unsaturated fats contain at least one double bond. This means that at least 1 Carbon atom is not saturated with Hydrogen molecules. The double bond introduces "kinks" into the molecular shape of the molecule thus helps lower LDL cholesterol and doesn't easily clog arteries. Quick summary Saturated fats - all carbon atoms are full of hydrogen - contain single bonds only (not including the double bond in the fatty acid) - easy to clog arteries Unsaturated fats - contain at least 1 double bond - at least 1 Carbon is not fully saturated
What is the difference in the way saturated and unsaturated fats act in the body?
The difference between saturated and unsaturated fats lies in the bond, because the shapes determine how the various fats act in the body.
Which kind of fats are better fro you saturated or unsaturated?
unsaturated fats are better for you
Is glycerol saturated?
Yes glycerol is saturated in hydrogen. Glycerol is found in both unsaturated and saturated fats and can bond with fatty acids.
What are the different kind of fats?
The three different kinds of fats are: Saturated Fats, Monounsaturated Fats, and Polyunsaturated Fats. Hope this is what you were looking for!
Are unsaturated fats better than saturated fats?
Saturated fats are more stable than unsaturated fats. This is because the C=C double bond in unsaturated fats can react with oxygen in auto-oxidation, hydrogen in auto-hydrogenation and light in photo-oxidation.
What is a saturated fat saturated with?
Saturated fats are saturated with hydrogen atoms.
What kind of bond is not present in a saturated fat but is in a unsaturated fat?
c=c bond is present in saturated and c-c bond is present in unsaturated
How many kind of fats are there?
There's two type of fats, unsaturated and saturated if that's what you're looking for.
What kind of fat has more hydrogen atoms and is more rigid?
Saturated fats. Also called hydrogenated fats.
What makes fat saturate or unsaturated?
Unsaturated fats have at least one double bond in one of the fatty acids. Saturated fats have no double bonds.
What determines whether a fat is saturated or unsaturated?
The chemical structure of a fat determines whether it is saturated or unsaturated. Saturated fats have single bonds between carbon atoms, while unsaturated fats have at least one double bond between carbon atoms.
