|
|
they contain only unbranched fatty acids

|
they have no carbon-carbon double bonds

|
|
they are composed of only glycerol and fatty acids
|
Detailed explanation-1: -The difference between saturated and unsaturated fat lies in the number of double bonds in the fatty acid chain. Saturated fatty acids lack double bonds between the individual carbon atoms, while in unsaturated fatty acids there is at least one double bond in the fatty acid chain.
Detailed explanation-2: -Saturated fats are usually solid at room temperature, do not spoil quickly, and have high melting points. Unsaturated fats differ from saturated fats because they have at least one double bond between their carbon atoms.
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.-There are two types of unsaturated fats: cis and trans.
Detailed explanation-4: -Saturated fatty acid chains have only single bonds between the carbon atoms, whereas unsaturated fatty acid chains have one or more double bonds between the carbon atoms.
