Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Monounsaturated fatty acids, or MUFAs, are a type of unsaturated fat. “Mono, ‘’ meaning one, signifies that monounsaturated fats have only one double bond. There are many different types of MUFAs. Oleic acid is the most common type, comprising around 90% of those found in the diet ( 1 ).
Detailed explanation-3: -Fatty acid chains with double bonds are unsaturated (Figure 2.7. 13). Those with more than one double bond are called polyunsaturated. The fatty acids in eukaryotic cells are nearly evenly divided between saturated and unsaturated types, and many of the latter may be polyunsaturated.
