Chylomicrons or Lipoproteins? (1 Viewer)

[Kimyia]

If we're asked what form lipids are carried in the blood, should we say chylomicrons or just stick with lipoproteins?

Bump

I would say Chylomicrons

I would say lipoproteins. There a question in a past HSC paper that asked how lipids were transported throughout the body, and one of the options was proteins.

Just know both I would say.

Hmm i think last year's question dealt with this, but it was a multiple choice question. From memory one of the options were "lipoprotein"

Ok, maybe I'll just write lipoprotein and put chylomicron in brackets

Stick with lipoproteins.

Just letting you know there are both high and low-density lipoproteins, Im just saying because I lost a mark for that in my HY and I don't want you to take any chances =)

Lol just put lipo protein. Don't think they'll give you mark for a contradictory answer with the one you put. Not saying "clymomicron" is wrong.

Initially, they are lipoproteins, then they are converted to chylomicrons in the lacteals, so chylomicrons

But they're carried in the blood as lipoproteins before they enter lacteals, hence the answer is lipoproteins.

Lipoprotein it is then ahah
