Saturated and unsaturated fats
Saturated
full
single bonds
straight chains
solid
stable
less reactive
hard to break down
eg. meat fat
lead to low density lipoproteins forming.
fatty material (atheroma) builds up in the arteries and resticts blood flow
Unsaturated
full of hydrogen
mono-unsaturated=one double bond
poly-unsaturated=more than one double bond
chain has kinks
liquid at room temp
less stable
more reactive
eg. olive oil
body will produce high density lipoproteins
these carry harmful fats to liver to be broken down
