|
Saturated
|
|
|
Cis unsaturated fats
|

|
Trans unsaturated fats
|
|
|
Cis polyunsaturated fats

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Unsaturated fatty acids have one or more double bonds. Each double bond may be in a cis or trans configuration. In the cis configuration, both hydrogens are on the same side of the hydrocarbon chain.
Detailed explanation-2: -In a cis fatty acid, the hydrogen atoms are on the same side of the double bond, which produces a link in the carbon chain. In a trans fatty acid, the hydrogen atoms are on opposite sides of the double bond, which gives a carbon chain without any kink.
Detailed explanation-3: -Monounsaturated fats-which include olive, peanut, and canola oils-have one double bond present per molecule.
