The body temperature in cold blooded varies with that of the environment as there is no fat deposition. On the other hand, cold blooded animals use fat during hibernation to carry out their metabolic processes.

Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature as they have double bonds. Saturated fatty acids have single bond and are solid at room temperature. Polyunstaurated fats are good for health as they boost up the good cholestrol level. As they are liquid so they do not choke the blood vessels and they are easily metabolized. Polyunsaturated fats include omega-3 and omega-6 fats. These are essential fatty acids that the body needs for brain function and cell growth.

Obesity is an abnormal increase in the proportion of fat cells mainly in the viscera and subcutaneous tissues of the body.

The excess carbohydrates and proteins are stored in the body as fats. It gets converted into energy during excessive physical work. Essential fatty acids are those fatty acids which play an important role in the biological process and they can be metabolized easily. These acts as a fuel rather getting deposited as fat in the body. The human body cannot synthesize essential fatty acids. Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature as they have double bonds. The essential fatty acids are unsaturated as they have double bonds. Saturated fatty acids have the single bond and are solid at room temperature.
