Lipid are classified into two main forms saturated and unsaturated what are they saturated with?
Lipids that are saturated do not have double bonded hydrogen atoms to the carbon skeleton of the molecule. Instead, the molecule has all of its available spaces filled with hydrogen atoms that are bonded to each open carbon atom of the molecule. To make it simple, saturated lipids are saturated with hydrogen.

What comes in saturated and unsaturated forms?
Fats, oils, and fatty acids can come in both saturated and unsaturated forms. Saturated fats have no double bonds in their molecular structure, while unsaturated fats have one or more double bonds. This structural difference affects their physical properties and implications for health.
What is an example of a saturated plant lipid?
a example of a lipid is cholesterol and hormones. Next answer: The above is not quite correct since it does not really address the question of a saturated lipid: Lipids: long carbon chains with mostly hydrogens attached. They are hydrophobic (nonpolar; does not break down in water). Saturated fats: long chains of lipids that physically stack atop one another very well. They have the maximum possible number of H atoms attached to every C atom. Unsaturated fats: lipid chains that do not stack neatly due to physical kinks in the molecule chain caused by multiple bonds (uneven charge distribution). Results from a gap where there is no H and thus a double bond forms between two C atoms. Plants have mostly unsaturated fats. There are, however, many saturated fats found in plants. Oleic acid is a common one, as is linoleic acid. Some plant-derived oils have a high saturated fat ratio, such as palm and coconut oil.
What comes in saturated and unsatrurated forms?
A triglyceride contains three fatty acids that are composed of hydrogen, carbon and oxygen. In a single free fatty acid if there is a hydrogen missing from the carbon chain creating a double bond then it is considered to be unsaturated. Adversely, saturated fat contains no missing hydrogens.
How can you find out if salt in water is a saturated solution?
It depends on the amount of salt and the amount of water. If there is only a little salt, it is probably unsaturated. That means more salt could be dissolved into the solution. If there is quite a bit of salt, it is more than likely saturated. If you add more salt and it just floats to the bottom, it is saturated. Unless it is supersaturated of course. For the solution to be supersaturated, you would have had to boil the water, add salt to the point where it stops dissolving into the boiling hot solution, then let the solution cool down. So, it can be any of the three.
Are transfats lipids?
Yes, trans fats are a type of lipid. They are unsaturated fats that have been altered through hydrogenation to increase their shelf life. Trans fats are considered unhealthy and have been linked to various health issues.

What chemical feature distinguishes a saturated fatty acid from unsaturated fatty acid?
The unsaturated ones are the ones with one or more double bonds in the carbon chain, by which they are lacking 2 H atoms per double bond as compared with the saturated fatty acid. The unsaturated ones are in general more 'healthy' with respect to possible cholesterol build up in blood vessels (cardial risks)
What type of fatty acid has double bonds?
The two basic types of fatty acids are saturated and unsaturated. A fatty acid consists of a hydrocarbon chain and a carboxyl group: CH3(CH2)nCOOH Saturated fatty acids have only single bonds between the carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon chain ie the molecule is "saturated" with hydrogen atoms and no more can be added. Unsaturated fatty acids have one or more double bonds between the carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon chain. Fatty acids with a single double bond are called monounsaturated. Fatty acids with two or more double bonds are called polyunsaturated. See:http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/F/Fats.html
Is total fat the same as fat grams?
No. Total fat is all of the amount of fat added up together. A fat gram can be in the form of trans fat, saturated / unsaturated, hydrogenized, monounsaturated, or other forms of fats.
What are fats containing two or more double bonds between carbon atoms?
This type of lipid is referred to as an unsaturated lipid, ( or fat). Lipids are long chains of carbon carbon bonds. When a double bond forms they are not able to pack together as closely due to a kink in the structure.

What forms the boundary of the nucleus?
The nucleus has the same sort of boundary as the cell itself has. That is a lipid bilayer.

What molecule forms the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane?
phospholipids
Triglycerides in olive oil contain mainly saturated or unsaturated fatty acids?
unsaturated fatty acids. A saturated fat is one where the fatty acids contain as much hydrogen as they can giving it a rigid structure so substances which contain them, such as butter,are more solid. An unsaturated fat has one or more fatty acids in which at least one carbon atom is using two of its bonds to link to a neighbouring carbon atom, so it only has one bond spare to link to hydrogen. This double carbon bond forms a kink in the chain giving it a less compact structure and there fore giving the substance a more liquid form, as in olive oil.
