What lipids are essential nutrients?
1 Answer
The essential fatty acids are alpha-linolenic acid and linoleic acid.
Explanation:
Essential fatty acids cannot be synthesized by the body, therefore they must be obtained from the food that is ingested. This is why they are said to be essential. There are two essential fatty acids (EFAs). They are alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid, and linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid.
