Question 1
pts
Lipoproteins transport triglycerides, cholesterol, and other lipids through the
lymph and bloodstream. LDLs deposit cholesterol in artery walls, whereas
HDLs remove cholesterol from arteries and deliver it to the liver, which uses
it in the synthesis of bile and other compounds.
True
Question 2
pts

amounts of nuts and cheese are the best food sources to obtain the essential
fatty acids and limit saturated and trans fats.
True
Question 3
pts
Trans fats in processed foods pose a greater risk for heart health than
saturated fats.
True
Question 4
pts
Cholesterol is found mostly in animal-based foods, whereas plant-based
foods contain mostly phytosterols.
True
Question 5
pts
The most common lipid in both foods and the body is the
triglyceride.
,Question 6
pts
Essential fatty acids, are key for a healthy diet, but intake of saturated
fats, trans fats, and cholesterol should be limited.
True
Question 7
pts
High concentrations of triglycerides in the blood and in adipose tissue are
harmful to the heart.
Question 8
pts
Essential fatty acids are precursors to arachidonic acid and EPA, which are
used to synthesize a variety of eicosanoids, substances that regulate several
body functions.
True
Question 9
pts
Consumption of antioxidant-rich fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and nuts is
recommended to reduce the risk of atherosclerosis.
True
Question 10
pts
Commercially prepared baked goods and snack items are high in kilocalories
and saturated fat and should be consumed rarely.
True
Question 11

Dietary cholesterol and phospholipids are both made in the body and are not
essential nutrients.

cholesterol concentrations and raise HDL cholesterol concentrations.

Question 14
pts
Triglycerides, phospholipids, and sterols are the three main types of
fats.
Question 15
pts
Foods that contain unsaturated fatty acids become rancid faster than foods
that contain saturated fatty acids, and polyunsaturated fatty acids are more
susceptible to rancidity than monounsaturated fatty acids because they have
more ________ bonds
double
Question 16
pts
Phytosterols and phytostanols in soybean oil, many fruits, legumes and other
