Step-by-step explanation:

Saturated fats are defined as the fat where fatty acid chains contain only single bonds.

For example, stearic acid, palmitic acid etc.

Unsaturated fats are defined as the fat where fatty acids contain one or more number of double bonds on the carbon atoms.

For example, oleic acid, palmitoleic acid etc.
