Detailed explanation-1: -The simplest fatty acids are unbranched, linear chains of CH2 groups linked by carbon-carbon single bonds with one terminal carboxylic acid group. The term saturated indicates that the maximum possible number of hydrogen atoms are bonded to each carbon in the molecule.
Detailed explanation-2: -Saturated fatty acids are straight-chain organic acids with an even number of carbon atoms (Table 2). All saturated fatty acids that have from eight to 16 carbon atoms increase the serum LDL cholesterol concentration when they are consumed in the diet.
Detailed explanation-3: –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.
Detailed explanation-4: -1: Fatty Acids: Saturated fatty acids have hydrocarbon chains connected by single bonds only. 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.
