Question
Please provide only typed answer solution no handwritten solution needed allowed
For lipids to be able to travel in the blood, they must first be packaged into lipoproteins. Lipoproteins have outer coats of
phospholipids and proteins that surround their lipid filled centers.
Classify the statements based on the type of lipoproteins they describe.
Chylomicrons
Transports lipids from the
intestines to muscle and adipose
tissue.
Incorrect
Very low density
lipoproteins (VLDL)
VLDL are converted to this
lipoprotein.
Carries triglycerides from the
liver muscle and adipose
tissue.
Low density lipoproteins
(LDL)
Primarily carries cholesterol to
all cells of the body.
The largest lipoprotein.
High blood levels are associated
with an increased risk of heart,
disease.
Answer Bank
High density lipoproteins
(HDL)
Picks up cholesterol from body
cells and carries it to the liver.
Contain the smallest proportion
of cholesterol.
High blood levels are associated
with a decreased risk of heart
disease.
