What are the lipoproteins that carry absorbed lipids from the intestinal tract to the bloodstream?
Chylomicrons
What are low density lipoproteins?
Low density lipoproteins are the second smallest of the five major groups of lipoproteins. They enable the transport of fat molecules within the water around cells and within the bloodstream.
What are the lipoproteins that carry absorbed lipids from the intestinal tract to the bloodstream called?
Chylomicrons

Can cholesterol be dissolve in water?
Cholesterol is a hydrophobic substance and therefore it can not be dissolved in water. This is the reason to why the body is forced topackageit in order to send it via the bloodstream. These packages are forms of lipoproteins which are split up in four groups depending on their density.
Is egg yolk LDL or HDL cholesterol?
Neither LDL or HDL ischolesterol. There is only one type of cholesterol and that is cholesterol.LDL and HDL are lipoproteins which enables the transport of fats in our bloodstream. This is due to fats' hydrophobic nature. Egg yolks contains cholesterol and not lipoproteins.
