question 6 (1 point)
physical activity and aerobic exercise will do which of the following?

increase low - density lipoprotein (ldl) cholesterol
compensate completely for congenital cardiac abnormalities
reduce high - density lipoprotein (hdl) cholesterol
help convert blood lipids into energy - rich molecules, such as amino acids
prevent and help control diabetes

Explanation:

• Physical activity and aerobic exercise are known to have positive effects on health. Let's analyze each option:
• Increase low - density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol: LDL is often referred to as "bad" cholesterol. Physical activity and aerobic exercise tend to decrease LDL levels, not increase them.
• Compensate completely for congenital cardiac abnormalities: While exercise can be beneficial for heart health in general, it cannot completely compensate for congenital cardiac abnormalities. These are structural or functional heart problems present at birth that often require medical intervention beyond just exercise.
• Reduce high - density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol: HDL is known as "good" cholesterol. Exercise actually increases HDL levels, which helps in removing cholesterol from the arteries.
• Help convert blood lipids into energy - rich molecules, such as amino acids: Lipids are converted into fatty acids and glycerol for energy production, not amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
• Prevent and help control diabetes: Physical activity and aerobic exercise can improve insulin sensitivity. When the body is more sensitive to insulin, it can better regulate blood sugar levels. This helps in preventing the onset of type 2 diabetes (by improving glucose metabolism) and also helps in controlling blood sugar levels in those already diagnosed with diabetes.

Answer:

Prevent and help control diabetes
