About this document
Understanding Fats and Lipids by SUNNY YADAV is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Fats and lipids are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. They are made up of smaller units called fatty acids. Fats provide energy, carry fat-soluble vitamins, maintain body temperature, and provide taste. Saturated fats are found in animal products and increase cholesterol levels while unsaturated fats are found in plants and fish and do not negatively impact cholesterol. Essential fatty acids must be obtained through diet as the body cannot produce them.
