What does it mean if a molecule has “Cyclo” infront of it?

it loops back around itself

what is the difference between saturated and non-saturated? fats?

non-saturated has less hydrogen, making it double bonded and bent, making it a liquid, whereas Saturated has the maximum amount of hydrogen bonds, meaning its straight and can be packed into a solid
