Fats, also called lipids, together with carbohydrates represent the major source of energy for the body. As in the case of proteins, fats are essential and nonessential. The essentials are those that the body can not synthesize, and are linoleic acid and linolenic acids, but typically are not absent from the body and are contained in meat, cold meats, fish, eggs. Biochemically, fats are non polar substances and are therefore insoluble in water. This is nonpolar because their molecules have many carbon and hydrogen atoms covalently bound to pure and therefore do not form dipoles that interact with water. We conclude that lipids are excellent insulators and separators. Fats consist of fatty acids. Overall call triglyceride oils of vegetable origin, and correspond to derivatives containing predominantly unsaturated fatty acids which are liquid at room temperature. (vegetable oils for cooking, and fish, see table). In the case of fats, these are composed of triglycerides consisting of animal saturated fatty acids, solid at room temperature. (butter, fat, chicken skin, in general: dairy, meat, chocolate, avocado and coconut).
