oils.
Saturated fats: lipids that have only single bond in the tail chain.
Unsaturated fats: lipids that have at least one double bond in the tail chain.
Polyunsaturated fats: lipids that have more than one double bond in the tail chain.
Have only single bond in the tail chain. Have at least one double bond in the tail
