Describe the difference in molecular structure between and unsaturated fatty acid and saturated fatty acid
Unsaturated fatty acids have double bonds between carbons which means they can accept hydrogen when this bond is broken. Saturated fatty acids lack these double bonds and so the fatty acid molecule is saturated with hydrogen and cannot accept any more hydrogen molecules.
