Abstract: We prove the three embeddedness results as follows. $(mi)$ Let $Gamm{a}_{2m+1}$ be a piecewise geodesic Jordan curve with $2m+1$ vertices in $mathbb{R}^n$, where $m$ is an integer $geq2$. Then the total curvature of $Gamm{a}_{2m+1}<2mpi$. In particular, the total curvature of $Gamm{a}_5<4pi$ and thus any minimal surface $Sigmasubsetmathbb{R}^n$ bounded by $Gamm{a}_5$ is embedded. Let $Gamm{a}_5$ be a piecewise geodesic Jordan curve with $5$ vertices in $mathbb{H}^n$. Then any minimal surface $Sigmasubsetmathbb{H}^n$ bounded by $Gamm{a}_5$ is embedded. If $Gamm{a}_5$ is in a geodesic ball of radius $fracpi4$ in $mathbb{S}_{+}^n$, then $Sigmasubsetmathbb{S}_{+}^n$ is also embedded. As a consequence, $Gamm{a}_5$ is an unknot in $mathbb{R}^3$, $mathbb{H}^3$ and $mathbb{S}_{+}^3$. $(mii)$ Let $Sigma$ be an $m$-dimensional proper minimal submanifold in $mathbb{H}^n$ with the ideal boundary $partia{l}_{infty}Sigma=Gamma$ in the infinite sphere $mathbb{S}^{n-1}=partia{l}_{i}nftymathbb{H}^n$. If the M{"o}bius volume of $Gamma$ $widetildevol(Gamma)<2vol(mathbb{S}^{m-1})$, then $Sigma$ is embedded. If $widetildevol(Gamma)=2vol(mathbb{S}^{m-1})$, then $Sigma$ is embedded unless it is a cone. $(miii)$ Let $Sigma$ be a proper minimal surface in $hr$. If $Sigma$ is vertically regular at infinity and has two ends, then $Sigma$ is embedded.
