B Correct answer
Explanation
Dietary fats are one of the three major components or macro-nutrients of all foods. The other two are carbohydrates and proteins. During digestion, dietary fats are broken down and their constituents, glycerol and fatty acids, are released. Fatty acids have many important functions in the body.
Dietary fat is a source of energy for your body. The glycerol you get along with dietary fatty acids can be converted directly into glucose by the liver. The fatty acids, however, have to go through a series of transformations before they are turned into glucose.
Here are 10 high-fat foods that are actually incredibly healthy and nutritious.
Avocado, nuts, cheese, oil, ghee, fish, milk, dark chocolates, whole egg and full fat yoghurt.

  2. Oils

  3. Chloresterol

  4. Polyunsaturated fats
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Unsaturated fats are liquid at room temperature as they have double bonds. Saturated fatty acids have single bond and are solid at room temperature. Polyunstaurated fats are good for health as they boost up the good cholestrol level. As they are liquid so they do not choke the blood vessels and they are easily metabolized. Polyunsaturated fats include omega-3 and omega-6 fats. These are essential fatty acids that the body needs for brain function and cell growth.

So, the correct answer is option D.
