A. 
B. 
C. 
D. 
E. 
2.
Which of the following is Cholesterol not a precursor to:
A. 
B. 
C. 
D. 
E. 
All of the above are Precursors
3.
What component of a lipoprotein contributes greatest to its density
A. 
B. 
C. 
D. 
E. 
4.
Low-density lipoproteins (LDL) are the principle transport vehicles for ________ in the blood.
A. 
B. 
C. 
D. 
5.
Apolipoprotein A is bound to all __________ and Apolipoprotein B is bound to __________.
A. 
B. 
C. 
HDL; Chylomicrons,VLDL,IDL,LDL, Lp(a)
D. 
All of the above are incorrect
6.
There are two ways that lipoproteins are commonly classified:
A. 
HDL/Non-HDL or By the Apolipoproteins in their structural surface
B. 
By density and by the harm they pose to the body
C. 
By Triglyceride concentration and by cholesterol concentration.
D. 
None of the above are correct.
7.
Because triglycerides and cholesterol (both being oil-based) cannot dissolve in blood, they must be “packaged” inside a “transport vehicle” in order to circulate in the (water-based) bloodstream throughout your body. Those transport vehicles are called:
A. 
B. 
C. 
D. 
8.
Elevated Lp(a) presents a far greater risk than elevated LDL because it is both atherogenic and thrombogenic
9.
In unhealthy lipoprotein metabolism (unhealthy eating), more particles are created than the body can use and remove, causing a greater particle load to progress through the metabolic pathway, with the particles getting progressively more cholesterol-rich throughout the process. This leads to an increased number of particles that are high in cholesterol, thus increasing the patient’s risk for atherosclerosis.
10.
Which of the following statements are true regarding lipoprotein particles and atherosclerosis?
A. 
Smaller particles more easily infiltrate the vessel wall, initiating the atherosclerotic process
B. 
More particles means more opportunity for infiltration to occur.
C. 
Higher cholesterol content can result in a more rapid advancement in atherosclerosis.
D. 
All of the above are true
11.
Regular aerobic exercise, loss of excess weight (fat), and cessation of cigarette smoking may increase HDL cholesterol levels.
12.
Lp(a) is considered to be ____ more atherogenic (disease causing) than LDL cholesterol.
A. 
B. 
C. 
D. 
13.
HDL removes surplus cholesterol from the periphery and transports it to the liver for disposal
14.
________packages the fat we consume and transports it from our small intestine to the liver.
A. 
B. 
C. 
D. 
15.
_______is(are) a class of lipoproteins formed in the degradation of very-low-density lipoproteins; some are cleared rapidly into the liver and some are degraded to low-density lipoproteins.
A. 
B. 
C. 
D. 
16.
Their levels are genetically determined and remain relatively stable over an individual's lifetime.
A. 
B. 
C. 
D. 
17.
__________transport cholesterol from the tissues of the body back to the liver through a process called reverse cholesterol transport, so the cholesterol can be eliminated in the bile.
A. 
B. 
C. 
D. 
E. 
18.
__________transports cholesterol to the tissues of the body. It is therefore considered the "bad" cholesterol.
A. 
B. 
C. 
D. 
19.
Which of the following appropriately represents the Friedewald Equation for calculating LDL cholesterol?
A. 
B. 
C. 
D. 
20.
The VAP:
A. 
Is a comprehensive lipid analysis utilizing proprietary technology called the Vertical auto profile ultracentrifugation.
B. 
Offers a direct measure LDL.
C. 
Simultaneously measures cholesterol concentrations of all 5 lipoprotein classes and their subclasses in a nonfasting patient.
D. 
21.
____________________is elevation of plasma cholesterol, triglycerides (TGs), or both, or a low high-density lipoprotein level that contributes to the development of atherosclerosis.
A. 
B. 
C. 
D. 
22.
___________ is used to measure obesity, and a measurement over __________, a patient is considered to be obese.
A. 
B. 
C.
