Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Saturated fatty acids (SFAs) are made up of a carbon chain with no double bonds. Because fatty acids are cell-membrane structural units, this saturated configuration contributes to decreased cell-membrane fluidity. SFAs are not essential nutrients. They are mainly obtained through dietary intake of animal fats.
Detailed explanation-2: -Saturated fatty acids (SAFAs) have no double bonds, e.g. myristic, lauric palmitic and stearic acids. Fatty acids containing one or more double bonds are known as unsaturated.
Detailed explanation-3: -Saturated fatty acids (SFAs) are the fatty acids without any double bonds between the carbon atoms.
