    Sterols and cholesterols are derived lipids, fat-like compounds that originate from other lipids.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Sterols and cholesterols are indeed derived lipids, meaning that they are formed from other lipids. This is because they are synthesized from a precursor molecule called squalene, which is derived from the lipid class known as isoprenoids. Sterols and cholesterols play important roles in various biological processes and are essential components of cell membranes. Therefore, the statement "Sterols and cholesterols are derived lipids, fat-like compounds that originate from other lipids" is true.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    Monounsaturated fatty acids do not decrease HDLs. In fact, they have been shown to increase HDL cholesterol levels, which is considered beneficial for heart health. HDL cholesterol is often referred to as "good" cholesterol as it helps remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream, reducing the risk of heart disease. Therefore, the statement that monounsaturated fatty acids decrease HDLs is false.
