|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\




Saturated Fatty Acids - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Most stable class
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


since they lack double bonds between carbon atoms and have
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


the maximum number of bonded hydrogen atoms. This class of
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


fats, found in animal products and tropical oils, is usually solid at
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


room temperature, does not go rancid easily, and is the safest
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


choice for cooking. |\ |\




Monounsaturated Fatty Acids - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Less |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


stable than saturated fats since they have one (mono) double
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


bond. This class of fats is found in olives, avocados, and various
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


nuts, and tends to be liquid at room temperature.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


Monounsaturated fats are safe for low-temperature cooking but |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


should not be used with higher heat and should be stored in dark
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


containers to avoid going rancid.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\

, Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids - CORRECT ANSWERS ✔✔Two double |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


(poly, or more than one) bonds. This makes these fats very
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


unstable and highly reactive to light, heat, and oxygen, so they
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


should not be used for cooking and always stored away from
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


heat and light to help prevent rancidity. Polyunsaturates can be
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


found in fish, flax, nuts, and seeds, and are best eaten raw. While
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


these fats are not suitable for cooking, they are incredibly
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\


important for optimal physiology and should be eaten daily.
|\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\ |\
