Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between saturated and unsaturated fat lies in the number of double bonds in the fatty acid chain. Saturated fatty acids lack double bonds between the individual carbon atoms, while in unsaturated fatty acids there is at least one double bond in the fatty acid chain.

Answer:

Los ácidos grasos saturados carecen de dobles enlaces entre los átomos de carbono individuales, mientras que en los ácidos grasos insaturados hay al menos un doble enlace en la cadena de ácidos grasos. Las grasas saturadas son sólidas a temperatura ambiente, mientras que las grasas insaturadas son líquidas.
