How are lipids carried - (answers)on lipoproteins in the blood because they are
insoluble in water

Density of lipoprotein with more lipids and less protein - (answers)less dense
Major bloodstream lipoproteins - (answers)chylomicrons, vLDL, LDL, HDL
Chylomicrons - (answers)least dense of the lipoproteins and are triglyceride-rich
particles that are formed in the intestine
Function of Chylomicrons and where they can be found - (answers)Transport
dietary fat and can be found in the bloodstream at highest concentration soon
after a meal
