Cholesterol makes up cell membranes and is used to create hormones.

Cell membranes are the outer covering of the cell that protect it from the outer environment. A cell membrane is a bilayer of lipid, composed of protein and cholesterol as well. The cholesterol is essential to maintain the proper integrity of the cell membrane.

Hormones are the chemical messengers that are released at one site and they perform their function at another location of the body. Hormones can be made up of several macromolecules like polypeptides, amine acids or cholesterol. The example of hormones made up of cholesterol are: glucocorticoids, mineralocorticoids, and sex hormones.

What would most likely happen if a person increased the amount of saturated fat in his or her diet?
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The person's risk of cardiovascular disease would increase.

Explanation:

saturated refers to all single bonds in the hydrocarbon chain, meaning no kinks in the chain. The hydrocarbon has the most number of carbons it can have, as there are all single bonds. If the hydrocarbon has even one less carbon, there would be kink, and it would be unsaturated and liquid. Our body needs less carbon, so unsaturated fats are better. But having saturated fats means no liquid, rather solid, which means harder for the blood to get to the heart. So your risk would cardiovascular disease would increase
