(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The biochemical function of very low density lipoproteins has to be stated.

Concept introduction: The four major classes of plasma lipoproteins are: chylomicrons, very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDLs), low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) and high-density lipoproteins (HDLs).

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The biochemical function of high density lipoproteins has to be stated.

Concept introduction: The four major classes of plasma lipoproteins are: chylomicrons, very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDLs), low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) and high-density lipoproteins (HDLs).
