2. name 2 things that unsaturated fat does for our bodies.

Explanation:

To answer these questions, we analyze each one based on nutrition and health knowledge (subfield: Medicine and Health, Natural Science):

1. Another name for fat is called what?

Fats are also known as lipids (specifically, triglycerides are the most common dietary fat form, but "lipid" is a broader term for fats and fat - like substances).

2. Which fat is good for you?

Unsaturated fats (including monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, like those in olive oil, avocados, nuts, and fatty fish) are considered beneficial. They can help improve blood cholesterol levels and have other health - promoting effects.

3. What is the worst kind of fat?

Trans fat (especially artificial trans fats, which are created through hydrogenation of oils) is the worst. It raises bad cholesterol (LDL) and lowers good cholesterol (HDL), increasing the risk of heart disease.

4. What word do you look for on a food label to see if trans fat is present?

On food labels, look for the word "hydrogenated" (e.g., "partially hydrogenated oil" or "fully hydrogenated oil") as this indicates the presence of trans fat.

5. What make LDL’s bad? And HDL’s Good?

• LDL (Low - Density Lipoprotein) is "bad" because it carries cholesterol to the arteries. When there's too much LDL, it can deposit cholesterol in the artery walls, leading to plaque buildup, which narrows the arteries and increases the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
• HDL (High - Density Lipoprotein) is "good" because it acts as a "cholesterol scavenger". It picks up excess cholesterol from the arteries and takes it back to the liver to be processed and removed from the body, thus helping to reduce the risk of arterial plaque formation.

6. Name 2 things that unsaturated fat does for our bodies.

• Unsaturated fats help maintain healthy cell membranes by being a key component of the lipid bilayer of cells.
• They also play a role in producing hormones (like steroid hormones) and help the body absorb fat - soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K).

Answer:

s:

1. Lipid (or Triglyceride, commonly)
2. Unsaturated fat (e.g., monounsaturated, polyunsaturated)
3. Trans fat
4. Hydrogenated
5. LDL deposits cholesterol in arteries (bad); HDL removes cholesterol from arteries (good)
6. Maintain cell membranes, aid vitamin absorption (or other valid benefits like improve cholesterol levels)
