Detailed explanation-1: -Saturated fatty acids (SFA) have no double bonds, while monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) have one double bond and polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have two or more double bonds.
Detailed explanation-2: –Saturated fats contain only single bonds in the carbon chain, with all excess carbon electrons bonded to hydrogen.-Unsaturated fats do not have all excess carbon electrons bonded to hydrogen.-There are two types of unsaturated fats: cis and trans.
Detailed explanation-3: -There may be one double bond or many, up to six in important fatty acids. Fatty acids with one double bond are the most prevalent in the human body, comprising about half of the total. Fatty acids with two or more double bonds occur in lesser quantities, but are extremely important.
