Chapter 15, Problem 15.80AQAP

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Match the lipoprotein with its description:-

1. Chylomicrons 2. VLDL 3. LDL 4. HDL

(a)Has the greatest abundance of protein (b) Bad cholesterol (c) carries triacylglycerol’s synthesized in the liver to the muscles. (d) Has the lowest density

Concept introduction:

• Lipoprotein generally classified into five parts on the basis of function of physical properties.

• Chylomicrons: It transports dietary $\text{TAGS}$ and cholesterol from the intestines to liver

• $\text{VLDL}-$ very low density lipoprotein

• $\text{IDL}-$ intermediate density lipoprotein

• $\text{LDL}-$ Low density lipoprotein

It transfers endogenous $$ and cholesterol from the liver to the tissues.

• $\text{HDL}-$ High density lipoprotein. It transports endogenous cholesterol from the issues to the liver it is good cholesterol.

Density order:

Chylomicrons <$\text{VLDL <IDL<LDL<HDL}$

$\text{VLDL, IDL , and LDL }$ are known as bad cholesterol.
