The four lipoproteins that transport lipids throughout the body are globular structures composed of a lipid center surrounded by a coat of protein. Each lipoprotein has a different density, determined by the ratio of protein to lipid; the more protein each lipoprotein contains, the higher its density. The density determines how the lipoprotein functions. Match the below mention lipoproteins with the given Lipids.
a. This lipoprotein contains the most cholesterol of all lipoprotein and about 25% protein.
b. This lipoprotein contains a mixture of lipids, most of which is 60% triglycerides and about 10% protein.
c. This lipoprotein contains the most triglycerides and the least protein.
d. This lipoprotein contains 50% of its composition as protein and other 50% is composed of triglycerides, cholesterol and phospholipids.
Lipids:
1. Chylomicron
2. VLDL
3. LDL
4. HDL
5. Micelle
