Which one of the following does not directly refer to cholesterol? A. Low-density lipoprotein B. High-density lipoprotein C. Rhesus factor D. Packaged protein coat Correct Answer C
- All options except option 2 are related to cholesterol.
- Rhesus Factor: Rh antigen is present in Rhesus monkeys. It is also observed on the surface of RBCs of majority (nearly 80%) of humans. Such people are called Rh-positive (Rh+ve) and those in whom this antigen is missing are called Rh negative (Rh-ve)
- A plasma lipoprotein is involved in the transport of lipids in the bloodstream.
There are 4 major classes of plasma lipoproteins:
|
Chylomicrons |
Transport dietary triglycerides from the intestine to the liver and to adipose tissue. |
|
Very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) |
Transport triglycerides synthesised in the liver to adipose tissue. |
|
Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) |
Transport cholesterol synthesised in the liver to cells throughout the body. |
|
High-density lipoproteins (HDL) |
Collect excess cholesterol from body tissues and transport it back to the liver for degradation and excretion from the body. |
