Definitions:

Saturated Fatty Acids

Fat molecules that have no double bonds between carbon atoms because they are saturated with hydrogen atoms, typically found in animal fats and are solid at room temperature.

Unsaturated Fatty Acids

These are types of fatty acids that contain at least one double bond in the hydrocarbon chain which can lead to health benefits when consumed in moderation.

Aerobic Respiration

A process of producing cellular energy involving oxygen where glucose breaks down into carbon dioxide and water.

ATP Synthase Complexes

Complex enzyme structures that synthesize adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of the cell, during the process of cellular respiration or photosynthesis.
