Question

select the correct answer from each drop - down menu. fats are an important dietary requirement that play a number of roles in the body. fats transport fat - soluble vitamins in the body, such as vitamin d. the body cant synthesize and must obtain it through dietary intake. the options in the drop - down menu are linoleic acid, omega - 3 fatty acid, cholesterol

Explanation:

The question is about nutrients the body can't synthesize and must get from diet. Linoleic acid (an essential fatty acid, omega - 6) and omega - 3 fatty acid are essential fatty acids the body can't make. But the context here: the first dropdown was about fat - soluble vitamins, now this is about a nutrient the body can't synthesize. Linoleic acid is an essential fatty acid (omega - 6) that the body can't synthesize and needs from diet. Omega - 3 fatty acid is also essential but linoleic acid is a common example of an essential fatty acid the body can't make. Cholesterol can be synthesized by the body (liver makes it). So the correct option is linoleic acid.

Answer:

linoleic acid
