Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Hydrogenation protects foods from spoiling too fast, increasing the shelf life of a product. It also increases the versatility of a fat by altering its texture (such as using vegetable oils to make margarine). The biggest drawback of the process of hydrogenation is that it introduces trans bonds into the fats. Essentially, this takes a healthier unsaturated fat and turns it into a fat that acts more like a saturated fat in the body, increasing cholesterol and risk of heart disease.
