1. Is there a structural feature that all lipids have in common, if so what is it? Is there a characteristic (physical) that all lipids have in common, if so what is it? 2. Chemically speaking what functional groups are present in all fatty acids (an example that is INCORRECT would be hydroxyl or alcohol groups) What makes them saturated or unsaturated?

1. "Fats" and "oils" both belong to a type of lipid built from fatty acids and glycerol called glyceraldehydes. What makes oils and fats chemically AND physically distinct? (i.e., What is the difference?)

00:01 So the question is, how do fats and oils are different from each other? fats and oils belong to a group of biological substance called lipids.
00:16 Lipids are biological substance that do not dissolve in water.
00:22 So the main difference between fats and oils is fats differ from oils only in that they are solid at room temperature.
00:33 While oils are liquid at room temperature.
00:38 Fats and oils share common molecular structure.
00:42 Here we can see the structure.
00:48 This structure shows that fats and oils contain three easter functional groups...
