1. You and your friend John are planning a college graduation party and you want to include healthy snack alternatives. You select fruit, veggies, low-fat dips, low-fat cheeses, whole-wheat crackers, and low-fat potato chips. John says he has heard about the fat replacer olestra in the potato chips and asks you how it works. You reply that olestra slows the pancreas's release of lipase enzyme. consists of tight protein-binding molecules that replace the fat molecules usually present in potato chips. contains a fat-like substance that the body's enzymes can't break down and therefore cannot be absorbed. is first subjected to radiation exposure to desaturate the bonds within the fat molecules, which reduces the kcalorie content.

C) contains a fat-like substance that the body's enzymes can't break down and therefore cannot be absorbed

1. A low risk of cardiovascular disease correlates with high blood levels of triglycerides. free fatty acids. high-density lipoproteins. very-low-density lipoproteins.

C) high-density lipoproteins.

1. Important factors in the selection of a margarine product include all of the following EXCEPT it should be trans fat free. it should be soft instead of hard. it should contain primarily omega-3 fatty acids. it should list liquid vegetable oil as the first ingredient.

C) it should contain primarily omega-3 fatty acids.

1. An omega-3 fatty acid has its first double bond on the third carbon from the acid end. first 3 carbons from the acid end. third carbon from the methyl end. first 3 carbons from the methyl end.

C) third carbon from the methyl end

1. Approximately what percentage of the body's energy needs at rest is supplied by fat? 5 25 40 60

D) 60

1. About how much cholesterol is synthesized by the liver every day? None A few mg Less than 300 mg At least 800 mg

D) At least 800 mg

1. Which of the following is an omega-3 fat? Acetic acid Palmitic acid Linoleic acid Docosahexaenoic acid

D) Docosahexaenoic acid

1. Which of the following describes a feature of cis-fatty acids and trans-fatty acids? In nature, most double bonds are trans Hydrogenation converts trans-fatty acids to cis-fatty acids The conversion of cis-fatty acids to trans-fatty acids is inhibited by the presence of antioxidants In the body, trans-fatty acids are metabolized more like saturated fats than like unsaturated fats

D) In the body, trans-fatty acids are metabolized more like saturated fats than like unsaturated fats

1. Your aunt Gladys has a family history of heart disease. She decides to begin eating a bowl of oatmeal every morning to help lower her blood cholesterol. After about a month of following this routine, her cholesterol declined about 5 points. Which of the following is the most likely explanation for this effect? Oatmeal is a low-fat food and inhibits the body's synthesis of cholesterol Oatmeal is high in complex fibers that inhibit cholesterol-synthesizing enzymes Oatmeal consumed on a regular basis suppresses the craving for high-cholesterol foods Oatmeal is high in soluble fibers that trap bile, causing the body to use more cholesterol for bile replacement

D) Oatmeal is high in soluble fibers that trap bile, causing the body to use more cholesterol for bile replacement

1. Characteristics of hydrogenated oils include all of the following EXCEPT they are stored in adipose tissue. they lower HDL and raise LDL cholesterol in the body. some of their fatty acids change shape from cis to trans. products containing them become rancid sooner, contributing to a shorter shelf life.

D)products containing them become rancid sooner, contributing to a shorter shelf life.
