Question

Regular consumption of ____ helps prevent blood clots, protect against irregular heartbeats, and lower blood pressure, especially among people with high blood pressure or atherosclerosis.

a. ​vitamin c
b. ​omega-6 fatty acids
c. ​trans fats
d. ​omega-3 fatty acids
e. ​saturated fats

Answer 1

Answer;

D. ​omega-3 fatty acids

Explanation;

-Fatty acids consist of chains of carbon atoms linked together by chemical bonds. On one end (terminal) of the carbon chain is a methyl group (a cluster of carbon and hydrogen atoms). On the other terminal is a carboxyl group (a cluster of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen atoms).

-Omega-3 fatty acids are a class of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids with the double bond in the third carbon position from the methyl terminal.

-Omega 3 fatty acids or Eicosanoids are important as they lower blood pressure, prevent blood clot, protect against the irregular heart beat and reduce inflammation.
