Hydrogen
No. Trans fats are unsaturated.
Trans fats are man made by adding hydrogen atoms to vegetable oil. This hydrogenation allows the vegetable oil to remain solid at room temperature just like a saturated animal fat.
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.
In general, yes. Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature and saturated fats are solid at room temperature.
Trans fats are unsaturated fats which are uncommon in nature but can be created.
Trans fats are unsaturated fats which have have same/simlar stucture to saturated fats therefore act as saturated fats. Trans fats are present in foods which contain vegetable fat which has been hydrograted partly to me soild. Pizzas can contain trans fats due to how the fat in the pizza base is made or trans fats naturally found in cheese. Trans fat levels should not go over 2g per person per day therefore having some trans fats is not too bad however you should limit the amount of trans fat you from.
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.
