Detailed explanation-1: -The number of double bonds is indicated by the generic name-monounsaturated for molecules with one double bond or polyunsaturated for molecules with two or more double bonds. Oleic acid is an example of a monounsaturated fatty acid.
Detailed explanation-2: -Monounsaturated fats are fatty acids that have one double bond in the fatty acid chain with all of the remainder carbon atoms being single-bonded. By contrast, polyunsaturated fats have more than one double bond.
Detailed explanation-3: -Monounsaturated fats-which include olive, peanut, and canola oils-have one double bond present per molecule. They are considered the healthiest types of fats because they lower total cholesterol, bad cholesterol, and triglycerides (the amount of fat circulating in the blood).
