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: -When the hydrocarbon chain contains a double bond, the fatty acid is said to be unsaturated. Oleic acid is an example of an unsaturated fatty acid. Most unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature and are called oils.
