are transported in the blood as lipoproteins.

Answer 2

Triglycerides and cholesterol

Question 3

are also processed by liver

Answer 3

Free fatty acids

Question 4

are classified based on the percentage of proteins they contain.

Answer 4

Lipoproteins

Question 5

< VLDL < IDL < LDL < HDL (based on protein content)
The reverse order is true for size differences and lipid content

Answer 5

Chylomicrons
