    Lipids contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and sometimes nitrogen and phosphorus. They serve important roles in the body by providing energy, forming cell membranes, and building blocks for hormones and bile acids. Saturated fats have a solid consistency at room temperature because their chemical structure contains no double bonds between molecules, while unsaturated fats are liquid since their structure contains one or more double bonds.

    All lipids contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

    Some of them also


    contain nitrogen and phosphorus.

    Lipids have several important roles in the body, providing: a source and
    store of energy. an important part of the membrane surrounding every
    body cell. the basic building blocks from which several hormones
    (chemical messengers) and bile acids (digestive juices) are made.

    Lipids are important molecules in biochemistry. A lipid can


    becomprised of the elements of carbon (C), hydrogen (H),
    oxygen (O),nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P).
    What Is Unsaturated Fat?

    Unsaturated fats are typically liquid at room temperature.


    They differ from saturated fats in that their chemical structure
    contains one or more double bonds.
    What Is Saturated Fat?

    Saturated fats have no double bonds in their chemical structure.


    They are “saturated” with hydrogen atoms. Because of their
    chemical structure, they have a solid consistency at room
    temperature.
    Saturated fats are solid at room temperature, while unsaturated fats
    are liquid at room temperature. This is because saturated and
    unsaturated fats differ in their chemical structures. Saturated fats have
    no double bond between molecules, which means there are no gaps
    and the fat is saturated with hydrogen molecules
