Answer 1

ANSWER:

The difference between saturated and unsaturated fats is that the "Monounsaturated fats have fewer C=C bonds that polyunsaturated fats".

EXPLANATION:

• Monounsaturated fats have only a single bond in them whereas polyunsaturated fats have "2 or more double bonds".

• Unsaturated fats are the fats that are considered to be "good for the health" as compared to saturated fats.

• Unsaturated fats are the ones that are usually "liquid" at room temperature. Replacing "saturated fats with unsaturated fats" in the diet can help to improve the health.

• Food like fish, nuts, plant oils, and avocados contain unsaturated fats that can be monounsaturated or polyunsaturated and including these in the diet can help to keep the body healthy.
