Cards (10)

  • What is the main form of fat used for energy storage in lipoproteins?
    Triglycerides
  • Phospholipids form the core of lipoproteins.
    False
  • What are proteins in lipoproteins called?
    Apolipoproteins
  • Match the apolipoprotein with its example:
    Apo B-100 ↔️ Core lipid transport
    Apo A-I ↔️ Stabilize structure
    Apo C-II ↔️ Cell signaling
  • Order the lipoprotein types from largest to smallest:
    1️⃣ Chylomicrons
    2️⃣ VLDL
    3️⃣ LDL
    4️⃣ HDL
  • Where do VLDL lipoproteins carry triglycerides from?
    Liver
  • Which lipoprotein collects cholesterol from cells and transports it back to the liver?
    HDL
  • What is the primary function of LDL lipoproteins?
    Deliver cholesterol
  • Which lipoprotein takes cholesterol from cells back to the liver?
    HDL
  • Match the lipoprotein with its role in lipid transport:
    Chylomicrons ↔️ Dietary fat transport
    VLDL ↔️ Triglyceride delivery
    LDL ↔️ Cholesterol delivery
    HDL ↔️ Cholesterol cleanup
