Yes, carbohydrates and lipids can influence cholesterol levels in the body. Diets high in saturated fats and trans fats, often found in certain lipids, can raise low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, commonly known as "bad" cholesterol. Conversely, excessive consumption of refined carbohydrates and sugars may also contribute to increased triglycerides and potentially lower high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, the "good" cholesterol. Overall, a balanced diet that moderates both carbohydrates and lipids is important for maintaining healthy cholesterol levels.

What class of organic compounds does glucose RNA cholesterol cellulose and oil?
Glucose belongs to carbohydrates RNA belongs to nucleico acids Cholesterol belongs to lipids Cellulose belongs to carbohydrates Oil belongs to lipids
Why are trans fats?
trans fats increase levels of LDL cholesterol (Low density lipids so-called bad cholesterol), trans fats also lower levels of HDL cholesterol (High density lipids i.e.good cholesterol);thus increasing the risk of coronary Heart disease.
Why is transfat bad?
trans fats increase levels of LDL cholesterol (Low density lipids so-called bad cholesterol), trans fats also lower levels of HDL cholesterol (High density lipids i.e.good cholesterol);thus increasing the risk of coronary heart disease.
What is lipid disorder?
Lipids are fats and cholesterol. A lipid disorder is when the levels are abnormally high or low.
How are lipids like carbohydrates?

What are the four macromolecules of life?

What is the difference between saturated and unsaturated lipids in terms of their chemical structure and impact on health?
Saturated lipids have all single bonds between carbon atoms, while unsaturated lipids have at least one double bond. Saturated lipids are solid at room temperature and can raise cholesterol levels, increasing the risk of heart disease. Unsaturated lipids are usually liquid at room temperature and can help lower cholesterol levels, reducing the risk of heart disease.
