The purpose of this assignment is to understand processes within organ systems and organisms that control the body to maintain homeostasis. After completing the Unit 4 Lab on Connect (above), apply critical thinking to answer the following: 1. Plaque Formation in Arteries: High levels of LDL cholesterol in the bloodstream can lead to formation of “plaques” in the arteries. • What are the potential health consequences of coronary arteries being clogged by “plaques”? • Name some specific foods that might lead to increased LDL cholesterol in the bloodstream. • What do these foods contain that could cause this? 2. Nutrition Labels: Analyze the nutrition label attached and answer the following questions: • How much total fat, saturated fat and trans fat does this product contain per serving? • How many grams of total fat would a person consume if he/she ate the whole container? • How many calories are from fat per serving? • Calculate the percentage of the total calories per serving that come from total fat. • Based on a 2,000 calorie diet, what percent of the percent daily value for total fat would be consumed per serving? Calculate the percent if the whole container was consumed. • Based on what you know about trans fats, do you think there are hydrogenated oils in this product? Explain.
