Question 12 Which fatty acids is most highly correlated to heart disease because it is more more hydrogen attached to it? Poly-unsaturated Mono-unsaturated Cholesterol Saturated All types of fat are correlated to an increased risk of heart disease. 1 pts

<p> <br />1. The question asks which fatty acid is most highly correlated to heart disease because it has more hydrogen atoms attached to it.<br />2. Fatty acids can be categorized based on the number of double bonds they contain:<br /> - Poly-unsaturated fatty acids have multiple double bonds.<br /> - Mono-unsaturated fatty acids have one double bond.<br /> - Saturated fatty acids have no double bonds, meaning they have the maximum number of hydrogen atoms attached to them.<br /> - Cholesterol is not a fatty acid but is a type of lipid.<br /> - The statement "All types of fat are correlated to an increased risk of heart disease" is a general statement and does not specify which type of fat is most correlated.<br />3. Based on the information provided and the nature of saturated fats (having the most hydrogen atoms due to the absence of double bonds), the answer is "Saturated".<br /></p>
