Chylomicrons, the fatty droplets that circulate in the lymph after a meal, are composed of which of the following?
Explanation
Answer: B - Chylomicrons are composed of triglycerides, phospholipid, and cholesterol. Their function is to transport lipids from the intestine to different parts of the body. Ketones are an end-product of fatty acid and amino acid metabolism, and glycolipids are compounds found in nature in which sugars are attached to lipids. VLDL and LDL are two types of transport lipoproteins, lecithin is an emulsifier, and long-chain fatty acids are fatty acids consisting of 16-18 carbon atoms.
