There population of the world that is considered to be malnourished is about 33 percent. Being malnourished is your body not getting enough nutrients that it needs.

What is the chemical difference between a saturated and an unsaturated fats?
Unsaturated fats have double or triple carbon bonds.
What bonds do unsaturated fats contain more of than saturated fats?
Unsaturated fats contain more double bonds in their carbon chain compared to saturated fats. These double bonds create kinks in the chain, preventing them from packing tightly together, which is why unsaturated fats are typically liquid at room temperature.
Unsaturated fats contain more what bonds than saturated fats?
double
The process add hydrogen atoms decreasing the number of double bonds?
The process you are referring to is hydrogenation, where hydrogen atoms are added to the double bonds in unsaturated fats. This reduces the number of double bonds, resulting in the formation of saturated fats or fats with fewer double bonds.
Why are the shapes of the lipid molecules different between saturated and unsaturated fats?
Because the unsaturated fats contains double bonds between some of the carbons, saturated fats only contain single bonds between all of the carbons. The double bonding gives the molecules a different goemetry.
What is the chemical difference between a saturated and an unsaturated fats?
Unsaturated fats have double or triple carbon bonds.

What is a characterisic of unsaturated fats?
Double carbon bonds.

What is a fat with no carbon-carbon double bonds called?
Saturated. This is because with no carbon-carbon double bonds the bonding sites are taken up by hydrogen, thus saturated. These saturated fats are solider tha unsaturated fats containing carbon-carbon double bonds.
What makes fat saturate or unsaturated?
Unsaturated fats have at least one double bond in one of the fatty acids. Saturated fats have no double bonds.
What is the difference in structure between unsaturated and saturated fats?
Unsaturated fats have double bonds in their carbon chains, making them liquid at room temperature. Saturated fats have single bonds and are solid at room temperature.
A fatty acid that contains three double covalent bonds in its carbon chain is said to be?
A fatty acid with three double covalent bonds in its carbon chain is considered to be polyunsaturated. This means that the fatty acid has multiple double bonds, which can lead to a more fluid structure and different health benefits compared to saturated fats.
Is it true that Saturated fats are composed of fatty acids with several double bonded carbons?
No, saturated fats are composed of fatty acids with no double bonds between carbons. This means the carbon atoms are "saturated" with hydrogen atoms. Unsaturated fats, on the other hand, have one or more double bonds between carbons.
What is the definition of Saturated fat?
With organic compounds, you can have carbon atoms bonded together with single bonds, double bonds, and triple bonds. If all of the carbon bonds in a fat are single bonds, the fat is saturated. If one of the bonds is a double bond, it is mono-unsaturated. If more than one bond is unsaturated, it is polyunsaturated. Sometimes industries add hydrogen to a double bond and make it hydrogenated. They can add it in one of two ways. They can make it a trans fat or they can make it a cis fat. Nature also hydrogenates fats. Nature makes cis fats. Your body has no problem with cis fats. Nature does not make trans fats. Your body has problems with trans fats. Industries can produce cis fats but find it easier to produce trans fats. Making trans fats illegal will force them to make cis fats.
What's the difference between unsaturated and saturated fats?
Unsaturated fats have double bonds in their chemical structure, making them liquid at room temperature and healthier for the heart. Saturated fats have no double bonds, are solid at room temperature, and can raise cholesterol levels, increasing the risk of heart disease.
