describe the linkages in fats.?

Fats are also called triacylglycerols or lipids;\n\nthe structure is the result of an esterification reaction between one molecule of glycerol ( a tri-hydroxy alcohol ) and three molecules of fatty acid ( long-chain carboxylic acids ):\n\n R-OH + R-COOH --->  R-C(=O)OR + H20\n\nglycerol is H2C(OH)CH(OH)CH2OH;  the fatty acids are typically stearic ( C18H36O2 ) or oleic ( C18H34O2 ) acids.\n\nThe bonds holding the fatty acids to the glycerol part are called ester bonds (-C(=O)-O-C-)

Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, the simplest sugar/carbohydrate. Proteins are broken down into amino acids and fats are broken down into fatty acids.

lipids are the same thing as fats... they are used as a last resort for energy

What level are you and how much information do you want? That question is like asking explain Biochemistry?\n\nAlright the basics: Carbohydrates are made up of sugar molecules they can be one sugar molecule or many in a chain. The simplified answer on their main function is that serve as an energy source, they can be stored in long chains (glycogen, or starch in plants) in the short term and then broken down into smaller sugars and eventually carbon dioxide and water releasing energy.\n\nFats, also called lipids are long carbon chains and are mainly used in cell membranes and as a long term energy store. Look up lipids and triglycerides for more information.\n\nProteins are made up of chains of amino acids which fold into different shapes relating to their functions. Proteins are used as catalysts (called enzymes) and are involved in most of the chemical reactions that occur in the cells. Try looking up enzymes for more information. There are also proteins with different roles in maintaining structure or sending signals around the body.

an unsaturated fat is a molecule that contains no double bonds must be at liquid

What i know is Fats have 9 calories or Energy it can release per every lipid or fats...thats all I know\n\nHope I helped you

The correct word is: cholesterol.\n\nTwo ways:  1) Low fat diet.\n\n           2) Exercise

I didn't know that trans-fats were ever produced naturally!  I thought that they only came about by adding hydrogen atoms to the fat.  Hydrogen binds quickly to other atoms to form water, sugars, etc.  So I can't think of an natural situation where a hydrogen atom would be free to bind with the fat.

Depends, there's fats/lipids, starches/glycogen, sugars, and ATP.

Fats are organic compounds that are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen; they are the most concentrated source of energy in foods. Fats belong to a group of substances called lipids. Fats come in liquid or solid form. All fats are combinations of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. Fats can be called very saturated or very unsaturated depending on their proportions.\nCholesterol is a sterol (a combination steroid and alcohol) and a lipid found in the cell membranes of all body tissues, and transported in the blood plasma of all animals. It is a soft, waxy substance found in all parts of the body. This includes the nervous system, skin, muscle, liver, intestines, and heart. It is made by the body and also obtained from animal products in the diet.\nPlease see the webpages for more details on Fat and Cholesterol.
