	full name is high density lipo-cholesterols
	they are designed to transport lipids to adipose cells
	they are absorbed by cells in need of cholesterol for membrane repair
	they deliver cholesterol to the liver for elimination in the bile
	they form in the absorptive cells of the small intestine

Answer 1

Answer

The statements that are true for HDLs are :

• Full name is high density lipoprotein
• They are produced in the liver
• They travel in the blood and pick up cholesterol
• They deliver cholesterol to the liver for elimination in the bile
  

- Liver produces cholesterol including lipoproteins such as HDL, LDL, VLDL.
- HDL is high density lipoprotein, also known as "good" cholesterol.
- HDL is released from liver to circulate in blood and pick up lipids from cells, arterial walls or chylomicrons.
- HDL return these lipid molecules to the liver for elimination.

Hence, HDL reduces the health risk by preventing cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis.
