Explanation:

Response
Question 1
Brief Explanations

Fatty acids are non - polar and hydrophobic (insoluble in water as they are fat - soluble). Since blood is an aqueous (watery) fluid, they need carrier molecules (like lipoproteins) to move freely in the blood. So the statement is true.

Brief Explanations

Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), especially omega - 3 PUFAs, are known to have beneficial effects on reducing the risk of arteriosclerosis by improving lipid profiles, reducing inflammation, etc. So the statement that PUFAs do not give the best dietary protection against arteriosclerosis is false (the correct answer is that the statement in the question is false, meaning PUFAs do give good protection).

Brief Explanations

Numerous research studies have shown that the Mediterranean diet, which is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats (like olive oil), and lean proteins, is associated with a reduced risk of cardiovascular events such as stroke and heart attack. So the statement is true.
