Question

Differentiate between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids

Answer 1

So what are saturated and unsaturated fats, structurally speaking? 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.

Saturated fats are solid at room temperature, while unsaturated fats are liquid.
