The main dietary factor associated with elevated blood cholesterol is saturated fat.

<h3>What about saturated fat?</h3>

Because they increase the amount of LDL cholesterol in our blood, saturated fats, sometimes known as "bad fats," increase the risk of cardiovascular disorders (including heart disease and stroke).
Cholesterol that is circulated in the blood.
The majority of this cholesterol is produced by the body, however some is also absorbed from the meals you eat.
Even if they include fat, foods derived from plants never contain cholesterol.
Only foods from animals do. Low density lipoproteins are able to transport cholesterol.
Dietary fat, particularly saturated and trans fats, may increase LDL and total cholesterol levels in the blood.
Blood cholesterol levels may be lowered by substituting polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, particularly olive and canola oil, for some saturated fats.
When we consume too much saturated fat, the receptors stop functioning as effectively, and blood cholesterol levels rise.

Amoeba Sisters Video Recap: Enzymes

Answer:

<h3>Enzymes are typically which type of biomolecule?</h3>

Enzymes are protein biomolecules.

Enzymes are bound to specific substrate/s and act as <u>catalysts</u> that makes chemical reactions faster, such as breaking down lactose to smaller units of glucose, which is accomplished by lactase.

<u>Cofactors (metal ions such as iron, zinc) and coenzymes (organic molecules like vitamins)</u> may be needed to initiate chemical reactions.

<h3>Describe the effects that enzymes can have on substrates.</h3>

After creating the <u>enzyme-substrate complex</u> through <u>induced fit</u>, enzymatic products are seen after the reaction. The <u>substrates may be consumed during the process or preserved</u> to be used again.

For example, these enzymatic products may be used for feedback inhibition to control the chemical reaction and production of a certain hormone.

Suppose that a large river separates two populations of mice. one population is all black, and the other all white. a beaver dam

Wewaii [24]

This is an example of CONDOMINANCY.

Condominancy is said to occur when two different alleles are combined together to form a different allele, in which the alleles are expressed equally and none of them is dominant. In the example given above, the black rat population mated with the white rat population to produce offspring that are grey in colour. Thus, the white and the black colour of the parents are not dominant, but are equally expressed to give gray colour.
