Bound to other molecules
4 of 26
Cholesterol is _________
Required by all cells
5 of 26
________ is the precursor for steroid hormones
Cholesterol
6 of 26
_______ broken down to glycerol and fatty acids
Triglyceride
7 of 26
_____ is related to triglyceride, with one of the fatty acids replaced by a polar group
Phospholipid
8 of 26
_______ has a detergent like property, as it contains both polar and non polar groups in the same molecule
Phospholipid
9 of 26

10 of 26

Gut
11 of 26
Lipoprotein particles have a hydrophobic ____ and a hydrophillic ____
Core, shell
12 of 26
Proteins associated with lipoprotein are called _____
Apoliproteins
13 of 26
There are ___ main types of lipoproteins
Five
14 of 26
Lipoprotein types decreasing in size -
Chylomicrons, VLDL, IDL, LDL, HDL
15 of 26
Main functionL to transport lipid from the gut to adipose and muscle tissue, via lymphatic and circulatory systems
Chylomicrons
16 of 26
Main function: to transport lipid synthesized in the liver to other parts of the body requiring triglyceride
VLDL
17 of 26
An intermediate in conversion of VLDL to LDL
IDL
18 of 26
Contains an important aplioprotein called B100 responsible for recognising LDL receptors on the cell surface
LDL
19 of 26
Main function: to remove cholesterol from peropheral cells and plasma, to be transported to the liver for reprocessing or excretion
HDL
20 of 26
___________ LDL is removed from the blood via the apo B100 pathway
Nearly all
21 of 26
The _______ has the highest number of LDL receptors in the body
Liver
22 of 26
Gene defects of lipoprotein or lipoprotein receptors
Primary disorder
23 of 26
____ groups of hyperlipidaemia are recognised
Three
24 of 26
The _____ system is used to classify lipid disorders
