Unsaturated fats are an excellent source of proteins?

Absolutely not! Unsaturated fats (also called lipids) are those fats which are liquid at room temperature. In other words they are oils. Fats are made up of an alcohol (glycerol) and one or more hydrocarbon tails. Proteins are made up of amino acids which have nitrogen and other properties that fats don't have. So basically they are two different things, so you cannot get proteins from fats.


To be transported throughout the body fats are packaged in structures called what?

Fats are transported throughout the body in structures called lipoproteins. These are complex particles made up of lipids and proteins that carry fats such as cholesterol and triglycerides through the bloodstream to various tissues.


An alcohol that reacts with fatty acids to form fats?

Glycerol is an alcohol that can react with fatty acids through a process called esterification to form fats or triglycerides. This reaction forms ester bonds between the glycerol molecule and three fatty acid chains, resulting in the creation of a fat molecule.


Is alcohol man made or natural made?

Alcohol, in its various forms, can be man-made or naturally occurring. Natural alcohol occurs in small quantities in certain fruits and vegetables as a result of fermentation by yeast or bacteria. Man-made alcohol is produced through processes like distillation and fermentation of crops like grains or sugarcane. The majority of alcohol consumed by humans is produced through man-made methods.

Can alcohol mix more easily with fat than water?

no alcohol can not mix more easily with fats than water. this happens because in water- alcohol mixing hydrogen bonding is involved which mixes water readily with alcohol....while during fats- alcohol mixing there is no involvement of hydrogen bonding or any other stronger bonding due to oxidation which causes fats to lose its effective number of hydrogen.
