Question
Chapter 23.8, Problem 16CYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
The choice to prefer high blood levels of HDLs or LDLs.
Introduction:
Cholesterol and triglycerides are insoluble in water and are unable to circulate freely in blood. Thus, they are bound to small complexes called lipoproteins. Lipoproteins are made up of proteins and lipids, which can transport in and out of the cells. They can be of two types: HDL and LDL, based on their composition of lipids and proteins.

Nitrogen, a mineral, is an important part of all living cells. All organisms need nitrogen in order to grow and repair. Although nitrogen exists in its elemental form in the atmosphere, it cannot be directly used by plants. 7 Where else can plants obtain their nitrogen from? Plants make their own nitrogen. B Plants get it from animals. Plants get it from the soil.
