Correct Answer: Cholesterol and trans fatty acids are types of lipids


Solution : The correct option is Cholesterol and trans fatty acids are types of lipids.

Cholesterol and trans fatty acids are distinct types of lipids. Cholesterol is a lipid present in animal-based food and synthesised by the body that plays an important role in cell membrane formation and hormone production. It circulates in the blood as both LDL ("bad") and HDL ("good") cholesterol. High LDL levels, while necessary, are linked to atherosclerosis. Trans fatty acids, on the other hand, are unsaturated fatty acids with a unique molecular structure that are frequently found in processed foods.
