Both animal fats and plant oils are made up of glycerol and fatty acids. The key difference lies in the types of fatty acids present; animal fats typically contain more saturated fatty acids, while plant oils often have higher levels of unsaturated fatty acids. This composition affects their physical properties and health implications, with animal fats being solid at room temperature and plant oils generally being liquid.
