Which of the following is a characteristic of LDL, a cholesterol transporter? Select all that apply. Select all that apply: An LDL tends to have more protein than an HDL. It is a low-density lipoprotein involved in transporting cholesterol from the liver to the tissues. It is a lipoprotein that removes excess cholesterol from the tissues and carries it to the liver. It is spherical in shape, with an inner core of nonpolar lipids and a polar surface made up of the head of phospholipid molecules.
