Animal fats are less expensive so most commercial manufacturers use them to save money and to make a harder bar of soap. Animal fats also have fewer skin benefits. Many handmade soap makers use solely vegetable oils to accomodate customers that are vegan.

If vegetables were chopped into a bowl of water would the vegetable slices gain or lose water?

It would depend on the type of vegetable and the initial water content of the vegetable. If the vegetable has little water in it, it would absorb water. If the vegetable has a high water content, it would lose water. It goes back to osmosis and trying to balance the concentration of solutes in the vegetable.

Why is it better to use vegetable oil rather than animal fat for frying food?

Water boils and if it cooks too long evaporates ( science) into a gas. It is not flammable. Oil on the other hand is flammable and will "fry" what-ever is put into it. Anything can cook in water ( vegetables, meats, fruit) but it is boiled.


Soaps are made from which plant source?

Soap is made of oils and fats, of any plant or animal source, by a process called saponification, where they are reacted with lye (NaOH or KOH) and converted to soap, which is a sodium or potassium salt of fatty acids from oils/fats. While some time ago, mainly soap production was based mainly on animal fats, in the beginning of the 20th century, palm, palm kernel and coconut oil became the most used oil sources for industrial soap production - majority of toilet soaps you find in your drug stores are made mainly of these. Olive oil is the main base for castille soap and Alep soaps. Soap can be made of any vegetable oil, so the answer would be - any plant that gives oil in sufficient quantities. What differs are the final characteristics of soap (foaming, cleansing, conditioning, hardness...), which are a function of different type of oils.
