Detailed explanation-1: -In general, fats that are solid at room temperature come from animals and are saturated fats. Picture a marbled steak or the skin of a chicken. Butter is another example of a fat that is solid at room temperature. It is a mixture of 66-percent saturated fat and 30-percent monounsaturated fats.

Detailed explanation-2: -Saturated fats have a chain like structure which allows them to stack very well forming a solid at room temperature.

Detailed explanation-3: -Saturated fat is solid at room temperature. It is found mostly in animal-based foods (such as meat, butter, milk, and cheese) and in coconut oil, palm oil, and cocoa butter. Saturated fat can raise your cholesterol.

Detailed explanation-4: -Saturated fats tend to be solid at room temperature and from animal sources, while unsaturated fats are usually liquid and from plant sources.

Detailed explanation-5: -This choice is easy enough to make because unsaturated fats tend to be liquid at room temperature (for example, olive oil) whereas saturated fats tend to be solid at room temperature (for example, butter).
