The difference between fatty acids and fat is that fatty acids are monomers and it is the soluble and digested form of fats while the fats are polymers n they are insoluble in â¦ our body without it,s simple form, which is called fatty acid e.g glycerols(monomers) from oil(polymer). + 3 others found this useful.aking the world better, one answer at a time. A fatty acid is a carbon chain in lipids A lipid is a large, nonpolar, organic molecule. Most lipids contain fatty acids.
Fats and oils both comes under the class of molecules called lipids (non-polar biological molecule insoluble in water). Fats and oils are simple lipids that is both are formed by esters of fatty acids with glycerol (a glycerol molecule linked by ester bonds to 3 fatty acids). Both are same chemically. The major differences are: 1) fats are solid at room temperature where oils are liquid at room temperature 2) fats are more saturated (more number of single bonds between its carbon atoms) compared to oils 3) fats are generally an animal product where as oils are often a plant derived product.
