Answer to Question 1

C
Replacing saturated fats in the diet with mono- and polyunsaturated fats reduces the risk of heart disease, atherosclerosis, and stroke, not kidney failure, liver failure, or lung cancer.

Answer to Question 2

C
Humans store glucose in the liver as polysaccharides, known as glycogen. Glycogen can then be converted back into glucose to meet energy needs through a process known as glycogenolysis. If fats must be used for energy, they are converted directly into ketones. Insulin is a pancreatic hormone that promotes the movement of glucose into cells.
