13. Which of the following statements about cholesterol is not correct? Cholesterol (a) LDLs (low-density lipoproteins) transport cholesterol from the liver to tissues and cells. (b) HDLs (high-density lipoproteins) transport unused cholesterol from the tissues and cells back to the liver where it is degraded to bile acids and excreted in feces. (c) Cholesterol is synthesized in the liver; therefore, plants do not synthesize cholesterol. (d) HDLs promote atherosclerotic deposits in blood vessels but LDLs reduce such risk. (e) Cholesterol is insoluble in blood plasma unless complexed to lipoproteins.
