The function of chylomicrons is to _________. A. digest nucleic acids in the intestine B. break down carbohydrates in the mouth
C. transport lipids from the intestine to other organs.
D. move proteins across plasma membranes of cells

Respuesta :

The function of chylomicrons is to transport lipids from the intestine to other organs.

Hence option (c) is correct.

Chylomicrons, also known as ultra low-density lipoproteins (ULDL), are lipoprotein particles that are composed primarily of triglycerides (85-92%), phospholipids (6-12%), cholesterol (1-3%), and proteins (1-2%).

Chylomicrons carry lipids ingested from the intestine to the adipose, cardiac, and skeletal muscle tissue, where their triglyceride components are digested by the action of the lipoprotein lipase, releasing the free fatty acids that can then be absorbed by the tissues.

The term "chylomicron" comes from the Greek words "chylos" (meaning juice (of plants or animals) and "micron" (meaning small particle).

They move dietary fats out of the intestines and into other parts of the body.

One of the five main categories of lipoproteins (grouped by density) that allow lipids and cholesterol to circulate inside the bloodstream's water-based solution is the ULDLs.
