1. Why is saturated fat called "saturated" / what is it saturated with?
2. Why is unsaturated fat not saturated?

I'll attempt to get this thread going again.

2. Why is unsaturated fat not saturated?
1. Hydrogen atoms; it contains the maximum amount of hydrogen it can hold with respect to the carbon atoms, as the carbon atoms have no double bonds between them, making it full or "saturated".
2. Unsaturated fat contains at least one double bond between the carbons. If a double bond turned into a single bond, the two carbons would each be able to hold one more hydrogen, which essentially means that the unsaturated fat is not full or "saturated".

What are the possible identities and the mass of each milk product present in the mixture? If you were to label this mixture, what would you put on the label?
a. 1% milk, 2% milk; 0.7kg, 1.5kg; 1% milk
b. Whole milk, 1% milk, skim milk; 0.5kg, 1.3kg, 2.5kg; Skim milk

f. None of the above

---Which of the following statement is true in the fats found in dairy milk, but NOT true in fats found in soy milk?
(1) Majority of its fatty acid lacks double bond(2) It is liquid in room temperature(3) It is made by a process called hydrolysis where three fatty acid molecules joinedto glycerol by an ester linkage(4) Relatively, it is the healthier kind of fat for human to consume
