Detailed explanation-1: -The main difference between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids is that the hydrocarbon chain of saturated fatty acids is made up of single bonds whereas the hydrocarbon chain of unsaturated fatty acids contains at least a single double bond.
Detailed explanation-2: -Unsaturated fatty acid carbon chains contain one or more double bonds with a terminal carboxylic group (–COOH), unlike saturated fatty acids, which contain no double bonds. These fatty acids are subdivided into two groups depending on the number of double bonds.
Detailed explanation-3: -Food sources of saturated fats are whole milk, butter, cheese, margarine, coconut oil, vegetable oil, meat, peanut, fried foods, etc. Food sources of unsaturated fats are walnuts, flax, avocado, sunflower oil, soybean oil, fish oil, canola oil, red meat, etc.
