What else can I help you with?
Proteins are synthesized within these round organelles?
ribosomes
Transport vesicles in the blood for most lipids are called?
Chylomicrons transport dietary lipids, such as triglycerides, while very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) transport endogenously synthesized lipids, also mainly triglycerides from the liver.
How long does it take for the body to remove the chylomicrons from the blood?
Chylomicrons are typically cleared from the blood within 12-14 hours after a meal. During this time, they are broken down in the bloodstream by lipoprotein lipase into free fatty acids and glycerol for energy use by the body or storage.
What lipoprotein is largest in size?
Chylomicrons
Chylomicrons are absorbed into what system?
lymphatic system
What renal-adjusting hormone cannot be stored within the cells where it is synthesized?
aldosterone
Lipoprotein lipase will?
remove triglycerides from chylomicrons in the blood
What is the name of the form of lipid that enters the liver?
Chylomicrons
How much cholesterol is in Chylomicrons?
They contain about 7% cholesterol
Which nutrient type will be absorbed into the lateals?
Lipids as chylomicrons.
What stain is useful for visualizing chylomicrons?
Oil Red O stain is useful for visualizing chylomicrons in tissues, as it stains lipids red and helps in their identification under a microscope.
Is transport of chylomicrons is function of plasma?
Chylomicrons are large particles that transport dietary lipids from the intestines to tissues. They are not typically present in plasma, but instead travel through the lymphatic system before entering the bloodstream via the thoracic duct. Once in circulation, chylomicrons deliver triglycerides to tissues for energy or storage.
