(a)
Interpretation:
Using the given description about the lipoprotein it should be identified as either chylomicron, HDL, LDL or VLDL.
Which lipoprotein has the lowest density and why?
Concept introduction:
Lipoproteins are a biochemical assembly that contains both proteins and lipids.
Lipoproteins can be classified on the basis of density (protein: lipid ratio)
More protein – increased density
More lipid – decreased density
Chylomicrons are lipoprotein particles that consist of triglycerides, phospholipids, cholesterol and proteins. They transport dietary lipids from the intestines to other locations in the body. It is the largest lipoprotein with low density due to high lipid: protein ratio.
Very Low Density Lipoproteins (VLDL) are synthesized in liver and they transport endogenous triglycerides. Second highest in triacylglycerol as percentage of weight.
LDLs- This is a lipoprotein which transport cholesterol and it is considered as the bad cholesterol.
HDL (high density lipoprotein) it has highest density due to high protein: lipid ratio.

B) 100 µM/s. C) 150 μM/s. D) 105 μM/s.arrow_forwardIn 1956, E. P. Kennedy and S. B. Weiss published their study of membrane lipid phosphatidylcholine (lecithin) synthesis in rat liver. Their hypothesis was that phosphocholine joined with some cellular component to yield lecithin. In an earlier experiment, incubating 32 P-labeled phosphocholine at physiological temperature (37 °C) with broken cells from rat liver yielded labeled lecithin. This became their assay for the enzymes involved in lecithin synthesis. Determine the optimal pH for this enzyme and characterize the enzyme activity at different pH values. -O-P-O-CH2-CH₁₂-N(CH3)3 Phosphocholine H₂C-O-C-R HC-O-C-R2 + + + Cell fraction + ?

They determined its structure from the following observations and experiments. (a) Qualitative analysis showed that X was composed entirely of C, H, and O. A weighed sample of X was completely oxidized and the H2O and CO2 produced were measured. This quantitative analysis revealed that X contained 40.00% C, 6.71% H, and 53.29% O by weight. (b) The molecular mass of X, as determined by mass spectrometry, was 90.00 atomic mass units (u). (c) Infrared spectroscopy showed that X contained one double bond. (d) X dissolved readily in water, and the solution demonstrated optical activity when tested in a polarimeter. (e) The aqueous solution of X is acidic.
