    Fatty acids are a class of carboxylic acid compounds, consisting of hydrocarbon groups composed of hydrocarbons linked to carboxyl groups. Fat is triacylglycerol composed of glycerin and fatty acids. These fatty acid molecules can be saturated, that is, all carbon atoms are connected to each other, and the saturated molecules are solid at room temperature.
