The correct answer is a. VLDL transport triacylglycerols from liver to other tissues. As they lose triacylglycerol, they become smaller, denser and richer in cholesterol and cholesterol esters. Eventually, they become b. LDL which carry cholesterol to tissues.
Description :-
VLDL stands for very low density lipoprotein. They are made in the liver and released to the bloodstream. Its main function is to carry triacylglycerides from the liver to various tissues. Even though it is similar to LDL but it is a major carrier of only triacylglycerides.
LDL stands for low density lipoprotein. It is more denser, smaller and Richa in cholesterol as compared to VLDL. Low density lipoprotein is mainly the carrier of cholesterol in the the blood. It carries the cholesterol from liver to various tissues.
HDL stands for high density lipoprotein. They carry cholesterol and triglycerides from tissues back into the liver. Hence it is the option consisting of HDL are wrong.
Thank you. Please dear student do provide with a thumbs up to the answer.

The liver can absorb cholesterol from peripheral tissues via the blood. This process is known as reverse cholesterol transport. Which is considered to be the quantitatively most significant way in which liver hepatocytes take up cholesterol from human peripheral tissue? a. Cholesterol is amphipathic and circulates in the blood freely or bound to globulins, from which it is primarily taken up by the hepatocytes by direct incorporation into the plasma membrane. b. Cholesterol is primarily taken up by endocytosis of...

The liver can absorb cholesterol from peripheral tissues via the blood. This process is known as lapel cholesterol transport. Which is considered to be the quantitatively significant way in which liver hepatocytes absorb cholesterol from peripheral tissues in man? a. Cholesterol is primarily absorbed from HDL particles that are drained of cholesterol by binding to Scavenger Receptor B1 in the plasma membrane of hepatocytes. b. Cholesterol is absorbed primarily by lipoprotein lipase-catalyzed hydrolysis of colesterylestre in triglyceride- and colesterylester-rich VLDL...

Which of the following statements is FALSE? Which of the following statements is FALSE? LDL is the main form in which cholesterol is transported to tissues. VLDL transports triacylglycerol synthesized in the liver to peripheral tissues. The cholesterol ester content of HDL is generally less than that of chylomicrons. Some fatty acids become complexed with serum albumin for transport in the blood to peripheral cells. Chylomicrons are lipoproteins that transport dietary fat from intestine to peripheral tissues.

6. Explain how VLDL is metabolized by lipases to intermediate-density lipoprotein (IDL) which may be cleared by the liver or converted to lowdensity lipoprotein (LDL), which functions to deliver cholesterol from the liver to extrahepatic tissues via the LDL (apoB100, E) receptor. 7. Explain how high-density lipoprotein (HDL) is synthesized, indicate the mechanisms by which it accepts cholesterol from extrahepatic tissues and returns it to the liver in reverse cholesterol transport. 8. Describe how the liver plays a central role...

Lipoproteins in Lipid Transport Lipids either enter the body through diet, are released from storage in adipose tissue, or are manufactured in the liver. All lipids are transported in the blood. Because blood is aqueous and lipids are nonpolar, lipids must form associations with other molecules to form lipoproteins that can be transported in blood. Chylomicrons, very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDLs), intermediate-density lipoproteins (IDLs), low-density lipoproteins (LDLs), and high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) are five types of lipoproteins. Chylomicrons exclusively carry lipids from the...
