To determine: The role of LDL particles.
Concept introduction: A waxy, fat-like substance that is present in the cells is known as cholesterol. The two main types of cholesterol are low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). The LDL is also known as bad cholesterol, and HDL is known as good cholesterol.
To determine: The chemical component of the LDL particle that is recognized by the LDL receptor.
