MULTIPLE CHOICE
| A. | “You should limit the amount of monounsaturated fats.” |
| B. | “You should limit the amount of unsaturated fatty acids.” |
| C. | “You should limit the amount of saturated fats.” |
| D. | “Your cholesterol shouldn’t be influenced by your diet.” |
ANS: C
A monounsaturated fatty acid is able to take up another hydrogen atom, and a polyunsaturated fatty acid is able to take up many more hydrogen atoms and become hydrogenated or saturated fat. Ingestion of saturated fatty acids appears to increase blood cholesterol levels. Ingestion of unsaturated fatty acids has a minimal effect on blood cholesterol. Monounsaturated fatty acids appear to lower blood cholesterol levels

Absorbed nutrients are carried to the liver, where major metabolic processes occur. The liver also regulates energy through its control of glucose metabolism. Glucose is the primary fuel for the body. The liver and muscles store glucose in the form of glycogen via a process called glycogenesis.
