16
Q

saturated

A

max amount of hydrogen, four on each carbon, no double bonds

17
Q

unsaturated

A

hydrogen atoms are missing, there are double bonds between carbons to make it unsaturated

18
Q

monosaturated

A

A single double bond in the carbon chain.

19
Q

polyunsaturated

A

Multiple double bonds between carbons

20
Q

omega 3

A

The first double bond is located between on third carbon atom on the methyl end, fish and flaxseed

21
Q

omega 6

A

The first double bond is on the 6th carbon from the methyl end, veggie oils/nuts/seeds

22
Q

hydrogenated fats

A

Hydrogenation is a process in which a liquid unsaturated fat is turned into a solid fat by adding hydrogen, making it into a trans fat

23
Q

proteins

A

second most abundant

24
Q

amino acids

A

amino acids are organic (carbon based) compounds that combine to form proteins.
