CORRECT RATED A+
Q: What characterizes Trans Fats and how are they created?
A: These are specific fatty acids formed during a chemical process called
hydrogenation. This occurs when manufacturers add hydrogen to polyunsaturated
vegetable oils to turn them into a more solid, shelf-stable state. ✔️✔️
Q: What is the primary function of High-Density Lipoproteins (HDL) in the
human body?
A: Often referred to as "good cholesterol," these compounds serve as transport
vehicles that carry cholesterol away from the bloodstream and back to the liver.
There, it can be processed and removed from the body. ✔️✔️
Q: Beyond providing energy, what vital roles do Fats play in physical health?
A: Composed of carbon and hydrogen, these essential nutrients are critical for
cellular health. They act as a physical buffer to shield organs from trauma, provide
insulation to help maintain a stable body temperature, and are necessary for the
health of both skin and hair. ✔️✔️
Daily values (DV) -ANSWER ✔️✔️The RDIs and DRVs together make up these,
seen on food and supplement labels
Cellulose -ANSWER ✔️✔️Fiber; major form of complex carbohydrates

reproduction and help maintain life and health
Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) -ANSWER ✔️✔️The average daily

Dietary Reference Intake (RDI) -ANSWER ✔️✔️A set of nutritional values, new

Saturated fats -ANSWER ✔️✔️Fats that are unable to hold anymore hydrogen in
their chemical structure; derived mostly from animal sources; solid at room
temperature
U. S. Recommended Daily Allowances (USRDA) -ANSWER ✔️✔️Dietary
guidelines developed by the FDA and the USDA
Cholesterol -ANSWER ✔️✔️A form of fat circulating in the blood that can
accumulate on the inner walls of arteries
Adequate intake (AI) -ANSWER ✔️✔️Best estimates of nutritional needs
Polysaccharide -ANSWER ✔️✔️A complex carbohydrate formed by the
combination of long chains of saccharides
Hemochromatosis -ANSWER ✔️✔️Iron toxicity due to excess consumption
