Question

Which of the following statements regarding lipoproteins is TRUE?

a) Low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) are formed in the small intestines to transport absorbed dietary lipids.
b) Plaque is a build-up of lipoproteins in the bloodstream.
c) As the very low-density lipoproteins (VLDLs) deposit triglycerides in the cells, they become denser and are
d) classified as low-density lipoproteins (LDLs).
e) The enzyme lingual lipase is responsible for removing triglycerides transported by the LDL.

Answer 1

Lipoproteins

Step-by-step explanation:

As the very low-density lipoproteins (VLDLs) deposit triglycerides in the cells, they become denser and are classified as low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) is the correct statement

• Lipoprotein is a substance that carries cholesterol throughout the system which are of 2 main kinds:
• Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) which is often called the bad cholesterol
• High-density lipoprotein (HDL) which is often called the good cholesterol
• Very low-density lipoproteins (VLDLs) consist of triglycerides, some cholesterol molecules, and less protein; less dense than most lipoproteins because of its high lipid composition
• Low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) contains less lipid and more protein in comparison to VLDL, its density is greater; consists of more cholesterol than triglycerides and protein
