Answer:

saturated and unsaturated fatty acids

Step-by-step explanation:

Saturated fats are a type of fat in which the fatty acid chains have all or predominantly single bonds.Rich sources of dietary saturated fatty acids include butter fat, meat fat, and tropical oils.

An unsaturated fat is a fat or fatty acid in which there is one or more double bond in the fatty acid chain. these include avocados, olive oil, fatty fish and nuts or seeds.
