body? Check all that apply.
Eating vegetables

Eating meats and eggs
Synthesis in the liver from lipids
Drinking milk
Synthesis in the liver from carbohydrates
Synthesis in the pancreas from nucleic acids
Synthesis in the liver from fats
EATING MEATS AND EGGS, SYNTHESIS IN LIVER FROM LIPIDS, DRINKING MILK (HIGH FAT MILK), SYNTHESIS IN LIVER FROM FATS SYNTHESIS IN LIVER FROM CARBOHYDRATES
THE LIVER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CONTROLLING CHOLESTEROL HOMEOSTASIS IN THE BODY. THE LIVER CAN REGULATE PLASMA CHOLESTEROL LEVELS THROUGH SEVERAL MECHANISMS.THE LIVER IS THE MAJOR SITE FOR CONVERTING EXCESS CARBOHYDRATES AND PROTEINS INTO FATTY ACIDS AND TRIGLYCERIDE, WHICH ARE THEN EXPORTED AND STORED IN ADIPOSE TISSUE. THE LIVER SYNTHESIZES LARGE QUANTITIES OF CHOLESTEROL AND PHOSPHOLIPIDS. SOME OF THIS IS PACKAGED WITH LIPOPROTEINS AND MADE AVAILABLE TO THE REST OF THE BODY. THE REMAINDER IS EXCRETED IN BILE AS CHOLESTEROL OR AFTER CONVERSION TO BILE ACIDS.
