Triglycerides are carried through the blood by lipoproteins according to my health class.
It could also be cholesterol, which is also a fat and is carried by lipoproteins along with triglycerides.

What form of fat is carried by lipoproteins?
triglycerides
What form of fat is carried in the blood by lipoproteins and is stored in the adipose tissue?
BYU!! i know your in lesson 2 but open up 2 windows. its easier and faster. dont cheat. here's your answer. Triglycerides
What is the function of the lipoproteins?
Lipoproteins usually carry fat molecules from the intestine to the bloodstream. As lipoproteins are broken down, they release fats that the body needs for energy or to put in storage.
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.
The substances that serve as the major vehicles for fat transport in the bloodstream are?
Lipoproteins
What are synthesized by the liver to transport fat to the rest of the body?
very low density lipoproteins
What factors influence Ldl Hdl and total blood cholesterol?
1. Saturated fats increase blood cholesterol levels. 2. Mono-unsaturated and polyunsaturated fats may help to reduce blood cholesterol levels and to improve the balance between LDLs (low-density lipoproteins) and HDLs (high-density lipoproteins).
Which enzyme detemine the uptake of dietary fat into muscles and fat?
Lipoprotein lipase is the enzyme that determines the rate of uptake of dietary fat into tissues. Lipoprotein lipase hydrolyses fatty acids from circulating triglyceride-rich lipoproteins, such as chylomicrons and very low density lipoproteins. The resultant fatty acids can be taken up by the underlying tissues, such as fat and muscle.
Why are fats carried in the blood?
Because they are then exchanged into proteins. The fat is broken down in the cells to provide protein/energy.
What are the 4 major lipoproteins?
(See link below)Chylomicrons are the least dense of all the lipoproteins and are basically just big balls of fat (triglycerides), with a makeup of about 90 percent fat, a touch of phospholipids, some cholesterol, and a smidgin of protein.VLDL (very low-density lipoprotein) carries a great amount of fat, some phospholipids, and cholesterol. The high fat content of VLDL makes a large quantity of this lipoprotein in the blood undesirable.LDL (low-density lipoprotein, or "bad" cholesterol) has only a fraction of the fat and double the protein of VLDL and is very high in cholesterol. This lipoprotein carries the majority of cholesterol in the blood and is considered the unhealthy one.HDL (high-density lipoprotein, or "good" cholesterol) is a spherical blob of mostly protein (albeit a type different from that found in LDL), some cholesterol, phospholipids, and very little fat. The densest of all the lipoproteins, HDL is the healthy one.
Why is the respiratoy system important?
To get rid of CO2 waste and refresh your blood with O2. O2 is needed for your sugars and fat to burn, which is fuel for your muscles and other organs to move. CO2 comes from burning that fuel. Both is carried in and out by the lungs via the red blood cells. Oxygen is needed in any form of combustion. AKA 'fat burning'.
Can form when a long bone is fractured and fat cells from yellow bone marrow are released into the blood?
A fat embolus
