How many fatty acid chains do saturated fats have?
Saturated fats have no double bonds in their fatty acid chains, which means they have only single bonds. This results in a straight molecular structure with no kinks, making them solid at room temperature.
What fats are found primarily in plant products?
The type of fat found primarily found in animal products is saturated fat. This is reference to the fact that acid chains which are "fatty" in nature have no possible double bond located in them.
Is a fat with a double bond satcherted or unsacherated?
A fat with a double bond is classified as unsaturated. Unsaturated fats have one or more double bonds between carbon atoms in their fatty acid chains, which prevents them from being fully saturated with hydrogen atoms. This structural difference typically makes unsaturated fats liquid at room temperature, unlike saturated fats, which lack double bonds and are usually solid.
Do saturated fatty acids contain a carboxyl group?
No double bonds. A saturated fat has hydrocarbon chains that are close together. An unsaturated fat contains double bonds in the hydrocarbon chains which makes a kink in the chain. This makes them sit farther apart and thus more liquid than saturated hydrocarbons.
Term used for a lipid that has no double bonds or fully hydrogenated...?
Saturated Fat. The double bond occurs when you remove a hydrogen, so when a fat is fully hydrogenated it has no double bonds.
How do you know the molecule below is a saturated fat?
Type your answer here... The molecule contains no carbon double bonds.
What type of fat is found primarily in animal meat?
Most adipose tissue in animals is classified as saturated fat, meaning the fatty acid chains have no double bonds in them.
What kind of chemical bond is found in lipids?
Lipids primarily consist of nonpolar covalent bonds such as ester linkages in triglycerides (a type of fat) and phospholipids. These bonds are formed between the glycerol molecule and fatty acid chains.
What is the structural difference between a polyunsaturated fat and a saturated fat?
There are double bonds present in the fatty acid chains of a polyunsaturated but none in a saturated fat.courtesy of Edward XOX

Distinguish between a saturated and an unsaturated fat and list some unique emergent properties that are a consequence of these structural differences?
A fat is saturated when all of the carbon atoms in the fatty acid chains are bonded to at least two hydrogens. A fat is unsaturated when there is at least one double bond between carbons in the fatty acid chains, and it is polyunsaturated when there are multiple double bonds. The hydrocarbon chains of polyunsaturated fats bend at the places where there are double bonds and this causes them to have low melting points - the fat molecules do not align close together.
Is sunflower oil covalent or ionic?
Sun flower oil is an unsaturated fat, basically a glycerol head and long chains of carbon hydrogen bonds. So, definitely covalent.
Is B6 fat-soluble?
B6 is water soluble not fat soluble. if you would look at a Lewis structure for it, you would find that it has multiple hydrogen bonds (OH) which makes it a water soluble. a fat soluble would be a non polar molecule containing hydrocarbon chains (CH3)
Fatty acid chains with all single bonds between carbon and hydrogens?
saturated fat. unsaturated has double bonds. thats why unsaturated in more healthy for you they can bend and flex. and saturated fats are solid at room temp
What are the bonds that formed formed between the building blocks of a fat molecule?
The bonds that form between the building blocks of a fat molecule are ester bonds. These bonds are formed between a fatty acid molecule (containing a carboxyl group) and a glycerol molecule (containing hydroxyl groups). Ester bonds are a type of covalent bond formed through a condensation reaction.
How do chains of saturated fat differ from unsaturated fat?
You have to fina a squrril and shampoo it
A fat is called what if all the fatty acid chains are single bonded to two other carbons and two hydrogens?
If a fatty acid has a completely single-bonded carbon chain with as many hydrogen atoms as possible bound to the chain, it is refered to as a "saturated" fat. It is literally saturated with hydrogen atoms. If the chain has one or more double bonds, those double bonds reduce the number of hydrogen atoms, and so that is an "unsaturated" fat.
