Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
When protein is consumed in excess of need, the liver converts protein to fatty acids that form triglycerides for storage in adipose tissue. The body does not store protein. Protein is not excreted unchanged in the urine. Nitrogenous wastes are converted to urea for excretion by the body, not protein.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Foods and fats containing partially hydrogenated vegetable oils or trans fatty acids have the strongest link to CHD risk of all types of fats.
