The double bonds in unsaturated fatty acids restrict movement. They are more "kinked" up
and do not pack as tightly. Saturated fatty acids have more freedom of movement and tend to pack together better. It takes more energy(higher temperature) to separate more tightly packed molecules.
Unsaturated fatty acids have double carbon bonds.
Saturated fatty acids do not have double bonds between carbon atoms and unsaturated.
Hydrogenated fatty acids.
Saturated fatty acids have no double covalent bonds between carbon atoms. The carbon in the chain is saturated with all the hydrogens it can hold. Saturated fatty acids account for the solid nature at room temperature of fats such as lard and butter. Unsaturated fatty acids have double bonds between carbon atoms wherever the number of hydrogens is less than two per carbon atom. Unsaturated fatty acids account for the liquid nature of vegetable oils at room temperature.
Not all lipids are saturated. Unsaturated lipids come in liquid form and are not from animals. Saturated lipids are in solid form and do usually come from organisms other than plants such as animals.
Unsaturated fatty acids have double carbon bonds.

The double chain in the unsaturated fatty acid cause it to bent; unlike saturated fatty acid which has no double bond, is straight
The double chain in the unsaturated fatty acid cause it to bent; unlike saturated fatty acid which has no double bond, is straight

Fatty acids can be either saturated or unsaturated. Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds between carbon atoms, while unsaturated fatty acids have one or more double bonds.

Unsaturated fatty acids have double bond or triple bonds, whereas saturated fatty acids do not.
There is no difference between saturated fatty acids and saturated fatty acids. If you meant saturated fatty acids and UNsaturated fatty acids, then the unsaturated ones are the ones with double (or, theoretically, triple) bonds in the carbon chain.
The presence of double bonds in the carbon chain of a fatty acid determines whether it is saturated or unsaturated. Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds, while unsaturated fatty acids have one or more double bonds.
A saturated fatty acid chain is composed of a carbon chain with only single covalent bonds. This creates a tetrahedral geometry of the atoms. An unsaturated fatty acid chain is composed of a carbon chain with one or more double covalent bonds. This creates a trigonal geometry of the atoms at the double covalent bond.
This is because it contains more saturated fatty acids then unsaturated fatty acids. Saturated fatty acids have a higher melting point then unsaturated fatty acids.
