To point out a chemical characteristic (probably more important):

Fats are composed mainly by saturated fatty acids, while oils are composed mainly by unsaturated fatty acids.

To point out a physical characteristic (not that important):

Oils adopt a liquid form at room temperature while fats adopt a solid form ar room temperature.

Notes:

Saturated fats are those with high amounts of fatty acids in proportion. In other words, high proportions of fatty acids for every unit of fat.

Fatty acids are carboxylic acids (with a carboxylic group in it) that contain a hydrocarbon chain.

Hope it helped,

In which scenario could natural selection most obviously occur?
3241004551 [841]
<span>Natural selection is likely when there are stronger selection pressures. For example, a perpetual selection pressure is the fact that organisms have to compete for food and resources, meaning the best adapted ones survive. However, a stronger selection pressure may cause natural selection to occur more obviously. An example of this is when the number of white peppered moths decreased during industrialization in England due to the soot collecting on the trees. The change in population was very fast and obvious.</span>

klemol [59]
Almost all the energy in ecosystems comes from the sun.<span>Energy is captured by producers and then passed in a linear progression from one trophic level to the next. At each level, much of the energy escapes the ecosystem as heat. Unlike this one-way flow of energy, matter is recycled within and between ecosystems. Elements pass from one organism to another and among parts of the non-living environment through closed loops called biogeochemical cycles.</span>
