It is important to know, whether fat is saturated or unsaturated. Saturated fat is bad for your health. Unsaturated fat is good for your health, provided you take it in limited quantity.
Saturated lipids have no double bonds between carbon atoms in the fatty acid chains, making them straight and able to pack tightly together. This structure gives saturated lipids a solid form at room temperature. Chemically, saturated lipids will not undergo a reaction with bromine water.
Yes, propene is unsaturated because it contains a carbon-carbon double bond, which is a form of unsaturation. This double bond is what distinguishes propene from a saturated hydrocarbon like propane, which contains only single bonds between carbon atoms.
1. It depends on the food it is dripping from 2. It depends on the temperature of the "dripping fat." For instance, if the fat is heated and dripping off of pizza, cooked meat products etc. then it is a saturated fat, because even though saturated fat is a solid at room temperature, it becomes a liquid when heated. If you are referring to fats that will "drip" at room temperature (is in olive oil, canola oil etc) then that is an unsaturated fat. The best way to tell is to let the "dripping fat" come back to room temp, if it hardens you know its saturated.
There's many unsaturated solutions, and example can be iced tea. It all depends of how much the liquid can handle. If you add the iced tea powder in water and some sugar is kept at the bottom that means it is saturaded, if you put less amount of the iced tea and keep stirring and adding more until its got enough and nothing is standing at the bottom then you'll know its unsaturated.

why it is significant to know wheter a solution is saturated or unsaturated
A saturated fat has more hydrogen atoms attached to the main fat molecule.Saturated fats tend to be solid at room temperature (example--butter)Unsaturated fats tend to be liquid at room temperature (example--olive oil)
The type of C-C bonds in the molecule
The most valid answer is "I don't know"
Actually, as far as I know, beef is rich in saturated fat.
there can be two explanation: 1. cooking oil is unsaturated while butter is saturated so buter can not be hydrogenated but cooking oil can be. 2. as we know that brown colour of bromine disappears when a drop of bromine is added to unsaturated compound whereas there is no reaction between saturated hydrocarbons.
If a solution is saturated you will not be able to dissolve any more of the material in that solution at that temperature. If the concentration of the dissolved material determines the reaction rate of a reaction you care about then you will need to adjust temperature or make other changes to speed it up. In contrast, if you have an unsaturated solution, you can dissolve more of the material in it and increase the reaction rate.
Saturated lipids have no double bonds between carbon atoms in the fatty acid chains, making them straight and able to pack tightly together. This structure gives saturated lipids a solid form at room temperature. Chemically, saturated lipids will not undergo a reaction with bromine water.
Saturated means that a chemical compound has as many Hydrogens on each Carbon that "it can handle". Unsaturated means that there are places containing double bonds, triple bonds, etc., between the carbons resulting in the compound having less Hydrogens as it could have maximally. Usually all fatty acids have 1 or 2 degrees of unsaturation in their long carbon tails, usually in the form of double bonds.
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)
An unsaturated oil will decolorize bromine water.
Yes, propene is unsaturated because it contains a carbon-carbon double bond, which is a form of unsaturation. This double bond is what distinguishes propene from a saturated hydrocarbon like propane, which contains only single bonds between carbon atoms.
