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.
