Accepted Answer

### Question 11
# Brief Explanations:
To determine if an unsaturated fat is monounsaturated or polyunsaturated, we look at the number of double bonds in its fatty acid chains. Monounsaturated fats have one double bond, while polyunsaturated fats have two or more double bonds. If the pictured unsaturated fat has one double bond, it's monounsaturated; if it has two or more, it's polyunsaturated. (Note: Since the picture isn't provided, but generally, if the structure shows one double bond per fatty acid chain (or overall one main double bond - simplified), monounsaturated; multiple, polyunsaturated. For example, olive oil fat is monounsaturated (one double bond), while sunflower oil fat is polyunsaturated (multiple).)
# Answer:
To determine: Check the number of double bonds in fatty acid chains. If one double bond → monounsaturated; if two or more → polyunsaturated. (Without the picture, a general method. If we assume a common case, e.g., if it's like olive oil's fat (one double bond), answer: Monounsaturated; if like sunflower oil (multiple), Polyunsaturated. But since the picture is missing, the key is the number of double bonds.)

### Question 12
# Brief Explanations:
Common carbohydrates from readings include monosaccharides (glucose, fructose, galactose), disaccharides (sucrose, lactose, maltose), and polysaccharides (starch, glycogen, cellulose). We pick three, e.g., glucose (monosaccharide), sucrose (disaccharide), starch (polysaccharide).
# Answer:
Three examples of carbohydrates: Glucose, Sucrose, Starch (or Fructose, Lactose, Glycogen; or Galactose, Maltose, Cellulose - depending on the reading, but these are common).

### Question 13
# Brief Explanations:
The liver converts excess carbohydrates (in the form of glucose) into glycogen for short - term storage. If there is still excess after glycogen stores are full, it converts glucose into fat (triglycerides) for long - term storage.
# Answer:
The liver converts excess carbohydrates (glucose) into glycogen (for storage) and, if glycogen stores are full, into fat (triglycerides).

### Question 14
# Brief Explanations:
The brain relies almost exclusively on glucose for energy. When blood sugar (blood glucose level) is low, the brain doesn't get enough glucose to function properly. This lack of sufficient energy for the brain leads to feelings of dizziness, as well as other symptoms like confusion or weakness.
# Answer:
Low blood sugar means the brain (which needs glucose for energy) gets insufficient glucose. This lack of energy for brain function causes dizziness.

### Question 15
# Brief Explanations:
Cellulose is a polysaccharide made up of long chains of glucose molecules. It is a major component of the cell walls of plants. Humans cannot digest cellulose (lack the enzyme cellulase), but it acts as dietary fiber, aiding in digestion (like promoting bowel movements).
# Answer:
Cellulose is a polysaccharide (made of glucose chains) that forms plant cell walls. It is dietary fiber for humans (indigestible by us) and supports plant structure.

### Question 16
# Brief Explanations:
Proteins have multiple roles in the body. One role is as enzymes, which are biological catalysts that speed up chemical reactions in the body (e.g., digestive enzymes). Another role is as structural components, like collagen in skin, tendons, and ligaments, or actin and myosin in muscles. A third role could be as transport proteins (e.g., hemoglobin transporting oxygen). We need to name two.
# Answer:
Two reasons our bodies require proteins: 1. Proteins act as enzymes (catalyze biochemical reactions). 2. Proteins are structural (e.g., collagen in skin, actin/myosin in muscles). (Or: 1. Transport (e.g., hemoglobin carries oxygen). 2. Immune function (e.g., antibodies are proteins).)

### Question 17
# Brief Explanations:
Foods high in protein include animal - based and plant - based sources. Animal - based: chicken (meat), fish (e.g., salmon), eggs, dairy products (e.g., milk, cheese). Plant - based: beans (e.g., lentils, chickpeas), tofu, nuts (e.g., almonds), seeds (e.g., chia seeds). We need to name four.
# Answer:
Four types of foods high in protein: Chicken, Fish (salmon), Eggs, Beans (or Tofu, Almonds, Milk, Lentils - any four high - protein foods).
