Fatty acids can be saturated or unsaturated, and unsaturated fatty acids can be monounsaturated or polyunsaturated. #bio1 #apbio #mcatprep #mcat #lipids #saturatedfat #unsaturated #triglycerides 00:00 Neutral lipids, fats and oils 01:53 What is a triglyceride? 05:35 Fatty acids 07:10 Structure of a saturated fatty acid 13:43 Structure of an unsaturated fatty acid 15:14 Structure of a monounsaturated fatty acid 16:48 Structure of a polyunsaturated fatty acid 18:09 Practice questions 24:09 Difference between fats and oils
