Question

different types of lipoproteins contain different percentages of protein, phospholipid, cholesterol, and triglyceride. match each of the lipoproteins below with the pie chart showing the composition of that lipoprotein. use the legend shown below to answer this question. hdl vldl chylomicron ldl

Explanation:

HDL (High - density lipoprotein) has a relatively high protein content. LDL (Low - density lipoprotein) has a significant amount of cholesterol. VLDL (Very - low - density lipoprotein) has a higher triglyceride content compared to HDL and LDL. Chylomicrons have the highest triglyceride content among them. By comparing the percentage compositions in the pie charts with the known general compositions of these lipoproteins, we can make the matches.

Answer:

The pie chart with the highest protein percentage (45 - 50%) is HDL. The pie chart with a significant cholesterol percentage (40%) is LDL. The pie chart with a relatively high triglyceride percentage (55 - 65%) is VLDL. The pie chart with the extremely high triglyceride percentage (80 - 90%) is Chylomicron.
