40
Q

What is the minor pathway of digestion that TAGs go through

41
Q

What is the role of Tongue Lipase and gastric lipase

42
Q

What is the role of pancreatic lipase

43
Q

What is the role of pancreatic phospholipase A2

44
Q

What is the role of Esterase

45
Q

What should happen to the lipids in the SI for the lipase to work

46
Q

How are lipids transported in plasma and why

47
Q

What is the structure of lipoproteins

A

They consist of a Triglyceride and Cholesterol center, surrounded by a phospholipid outer shell, with the hydrophilic portions oriented outward toward the surrounding water and lipophilic portions oriented inward toward the lipid center

A special kind of protein, called apolipoprotein, is embedded in the outer shell, both stabilising the complex and giving it a functional identity that determines its fate.

48
Q

What bonds hold the lipoprotein together

49
Q

Describe the lipid-protein binding in lipoproteins

50
Q

How are lipoproteins classified - mention the ratio

51
Q

What is the structure of Chylomicrons

A

consist of triglycerides (85–92%), phospholipids (6–12%), cholesterol (1–3%), and proteins (1–2%).

52
Q

What is the function of chylomicrons
