Answer:

Lipoproteins (LDL, HDL, VLDL, IDL, Chylomicrons

Step-by-step explanation:

The lipids transport is difficult because of their hydrophobic attribute, so they cant move easily through the plasma. After being transported those lippoproteins get in the cells thanks to the receptors in cell membrane (B:E, E and scavangers receptors). Only if they are bounded to the proteins they can go out and in through the plasma and different cells in the organism.
