Question

Which lipoprotein picks up cholesterol from dying cells and other sources and transfers it to other lipoproteins, as well as directly to the liver?

a. LDL
b. HDL
c. VLDL
d. IDL

Answer 1

HDL (High-density lipoprotein) is the lipoprotein that picks up cholesterol from dying cells and transfers it to other lipoproteins and the liver.

Step-by-step explanation:

The lipoprotein that picks up cholesterol from dying cells and other sources and transfers it to other lipoproteins, as well as directly to the liver, is HDL (High-density lipoprotein).

HDL is responsible for carrying cholesterol out of the bloodstream and into the liver, where it is either reused or removed from the body with bile.
