Question
What statement is true regarding LDL?
Because the LDL is plasma lipoproteins with a lipid bilayer, it readily fuses with the plasma membrane of target cells.
The LDL participle binds to the target cell LDL receptor and is endocytosed
LDL is not taken up by target cells but serves to scavenge (remove) cholesterol for recycling
LDL is produced in the liver as the least dense plasma lipoproteins and is exported from the liver to transport only tricyglycerol.
None of the above

After that, he was diagnosed with symptoms of a lack of vitamins, especially vitamins A, D, E, and K. Suggest the possible reason of hypovitaminosis. Water-soluble vitamins couldn't be absorbed. Fats take part in catabolism of vitamins. The diet, rich in proteins and carbohydrates, didn't contain vitamins. Micelles couldn't be formed to transport vitamins. O Fat-soluble vitamins couldn't be absorbed.arrow_forwardComplete the tablearrow_forward

O have a glycerol backbone with a phosphate group attached to carbon #3 O classified as simple lipids because they don't have fatty acids in their structures O consist of a long-chain fatty acid and alcohol linked by an ester bond O major part of the myelin sheath that surrounds nerve cell axons O primary component of lipoprotein complexes in the bloodarrow_forwardWhich of the following is TRUE regarding trans fat? It is less harmful than saturate fat It is commonly found in nuts and cold water fish Causes a fatty acid to have a "kink or bend" in the fatty acid structure It causes the fatty acid to appear and behave more like a saturated fatarrow_forward
- Fill in the blankarrow_forwardWhat is the role of each of the following lipoproteins in the transport of lipids? -VLDL -HDL -LDLarrow_forwardHow does the digestion and absorption of fat differ from that of carbohydrates? Group of answer choices Processing of fat does not require any digestive enzymes, whereas the processing of carbohydrates does. Fat absorption occurs in the stomach, whereas carbohydrates are absorbed from the small intestine. Carbohydrates need to be emulsified before they can be digested, whereas fats do not. Most absorbed fat first enters the lymphatic system, whereas carbohydrates directly enter the blood.arrow_forward
