What are the two different types of fats?

Answer 1

n chemistry, especially biochemistry, a fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long unbranched aliphatic tail (chain), which is either saturated or unsaturated. Most naturally occurring fatty acids have a chain of an even number of carbon atoms, from 4 to 28.[1] Fatty acids are usually derived from triglycerides or phospholipids. When they are not attached to other molecules, they are known as "free" fatty acids. Fatty acids are important sources of fuel because, metabolized, they yield large quantities of ATP. Many cell types can use either glucose or fatty acids for this purpose. In particular, heart and skeletal muscle prefer fatty acids. The brain cannot use fatty acids as a source of fuel; it relies on glucose or ketone bodies.[2]

Answer 2

saturated and unsaturated fats, saturated fats are solid at room temparature, but unsaturated are liquid and mostly called oils e.g cooking oil,fish oil and etc.. the derfrence is in the structure, fats are made of glycerol and 3 hydro-carbons tails, on the saturated one the tails are flat and paralel to each othe but the unsaturated one makes a little bend which prevent them to pack nicely and that makes them liquid...from TME in SA
