Question

A lipoprotein particle functions to ________. dissolve polar lipids for excretion transport nonpolar lipid to body cells metabolize lipids into new substances dissolve polar lipids in urine store lipids in the tissues

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is ''transport nonpolar lipid to body cells''

Explanation:

Lipoproteins are macromolecules whose function is to package insoluble lipids in the aqueous medium of plasma and transport them from the intestine and liver to peripheral tissues. They transport all the lipids that circulate in the plasma: free and esterified cholesterol, triglycerides and phospholipids. Plasma lipoproteins constitute a polydisperse and heterogeneous system of particles of almost spherical morphology, which have a hydrophobic nucleus or core formed by nonpolar lipids, that is, esterified cholesterol and triglycerides, and by a hydrophilic surface layer containing unesterified cholesterol, phospholipids and specific proteins called apoproteins.
