28. Triglycerides Energy storage, Insulation, 3 fatty acids and 1 glycerol
29. Saturated fatty Single bond, as many hydrogens as possible, Meat/dairy, Cardiovascular disease
acids
30. Unsaturated fat- double or triple bonds, could add a hydrogen or two, plant oils, fish, avocados,
ty acids omega fatty acids
