Which of the following statements about cholesterol is not correct? (3 pts) CH3 CH3 H но Cholesterol (a) LDLS (low-density lipoproteins) transport cholesterol from the liver to tissues and cells. (b) HDLS (high-density lipoproteins) transport unused cholesterol from the tissues and cells back to the liver where it is degraded to bile acids and excreted in feces. (c) HDLS promote atherosclerotic deposits in blood vessels but LDLS reduce such risks. (d) Cholesterol is insoluble in blood plasma unless complexed to lipoproteins. (e) Cholesterol is synthesized in the liver; therefore plants do not synthesize cholesterol.
