Which statement about low-density lipoproteins (LDL cholesterol) is FALSE? A. They are always a dangerous substance. B. They're often referred to as "bad" cholesterol by many health officials. C. They can be damaging if they are in the oxidized form. D. They carry cholesterol and other important nutrients to the cells.
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.
