Answer 1

Correct selections:
- Lipoproteins will help transport the excess fat to fat storage.
- Fatty acids will be used for long-term energy storage.

Explanation: Dietary fat is packaged into chylomicrons (lipoproteins) for transport via the lymph and blood to tissues (including adipose) where fatty acids are re-esterified into triglycerides for long‑term storage. A high‑fat meal does not typically cause an immediate rise in blood glucose (that follows carbohydrate intake), and any change in serum cholesterol from a single high‑fat meal is not the primary immediate effect.
