______ are bad cholesterol as can lead to fat bulding up on artery walls which can cause heart disease
A.
HDLs
B.
LDLs
C.
Fats
Correct Answer B. LDLs
Explanation LDLs, also known as low-density lipoproteins, are considered bad cholesterol because they can lead to the accumulation of fat on the walls of arteries. This buildup of fat can eventually cause heart disease. HDLs, on the other hand, are considered good cholesterol as they help remove LDLs from the bloodstream, reducing the risk of heart disease. Fats, in general, can contribute to the formation of LDLs and should be consumed in moderation to maintain a healthy cholesterol level.
Rate this question:
35.
______ are good cholesterol as they stop fat building up in arteries
A.
HDLs
B.
LDLs
C.
Fats
Correct Answer A. HDLs
Explanation HDLs, also known as high-density lipoproteins, are considered good cholesterol because they help remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream and prevent the buildup of fat in arteries. They transport cholesterol from the arteries to the liver, where it can be broken down and eliminated from the body. This process reduces the risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular problems associated with the accumulation of cholesterol in the arteries.
Rate this question:
36.
A _____ proportion of HDLs to LDLs is good for the heart
A.
Similar
B.
Low
C.
High
Correct Answer C. High
Explanation A high proportion of HDLs to LDLs is good for the heart because HDLs (high-density lipoproteins) are considered "good" cholesterol, as they help remove LDLs (low-density lipoproteins) from the bloodstream. LDLs, on the other hand, are considered "bad" cholesterol, as they can build up in the arteries and lead to heart disease. Therefore, a higher proportion of HDLs to LDLs indicates a healthier balance of cholesterol and a lower risk of heart problems.
Rate this question:
37.
1)unsatured and 2)unsaturated fats help to reduce cholesterol in the blood and increase the proportion of HDLs to LDLs
1) / 2) =
Correct Answer poly mono
Explanation Polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats help to reduce cholesterol in the blood and increase the proportion of HDLs (good cholesterol) to LDLs (bad cholesterol). Polyunsaturated fats contain multiple double bonds in their chemical structure, while monounsaturated fats have a single double bond. Both types of fats are considered healthier options compared to saturated fats, which can increase cholesterol levels and the risk of heart disease. Consuming a diet rich in polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats can have a positive impact on cardiovascular health.
