What is the difference between a saturated fatty acid and an unsaturated fatty acid? Discuss the effects of saturated fats and unsaturated fats on health
What will be an ideal response?
A saturated fatty acid is filled to capacity with hydrogen, whereas an unsaturated fatty acid is missing at least one hydrogen and thus has at least one double bond between carbons. Saturated fatty acids are solid at room temperature, and unsaturated fatty acids are liquids at room temperature. Saturated fats should be limited in the diet; by contrast, replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats has a beneficial effect on health.
