mostly from animal sources
FATS
mostly from plant sources
OILS
its chemical structure has all single-bond between the carbons in their fatty acid tails, thus all the carbons are also bonded to the maximum number of hydrogens
FATS
since fatty acids in these triglycerides contain the maximum possible amount of hydrogen, this would be called
saturated fats.
s. This hydrocarbon chain in fatty acids, are (blank) and can pack closely together, making these fats (blank) at room temperature
straight, solid
have some double-bonds between carbons in the hydrocarbon tail, causing bends or 'kinks” in the shape of the molecules.
OILS
Because some of the carbons share double bonds, they are not bonded to as many hydrogens as they could if they were not double-bonded to each other
OILS
the reason these oils are called (blank), because of the kinks in the hydrocarbon tails, unsaturated fats can’t pack as closely together, making them liquid at room temperature
unsaturated fats
natural mixtures containing esters of high molecular weight, monohydric alcohols and high molecular weight fatty acids
