Q:

Chylomicrons are synthesized within the

A) Intestinal cells B) Liver
C) Storage compartment of plant seeds D) Lymphatic system
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Lymphatic system

Explanation:

Lipoproteins are particles that contain triacylglycerol (TAG), cholesterol, phospholipids and amphipathic proteins called apolipoproteins.

 

The four major types of lipoproteins are

1. chylomicrons,

2. very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL),

3. low-density lipoprotein (LDL), and

4. high-density lipoprotein (HDL).

 

Chylomicrons are formed in the endoplasmic reticulum in the absorptive cells (enterocytes) of the small intestine.

 

The function of these lipoproteins is to deliver energy-rich triacylglycerol (TAG) to cells in the body (pink pathway). TAG is stripped from chylomicrons and VLDL through the action of lipoprotein lipase, an enzyme that is found on the surface of endothelial cells. This enzyme digests the TAG to fatty acids and monoglycerides, which can then diffuse into the cell to be oxidized, or in the case of an adipose cell, to be re-synthesized into TAG and stored in the cell.

Q:

There is a clock which shows false timing ie it shows 20 minutes less for each 1 hour. If the clock shows 12 noon now how many minutes will be lost when it shows 2 pm ?

A) 36 minutes B) 48 minutes
C) 35 minutes D) 60 minutes
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 60 minutes

Explanation:

For 1 hour, 20 minutes is slower, then for
06 miuntes - 2 minutes is slower
30 minutes - 10 minutes
Actual time | false time
12 12
01 PM 12:40 PM (20 minutes slower)
02 PM 01:20 PM
03 PM 02:00 PM

So, when actual time is 3pm, the false time is 2 pm.
So, it loses 60 minutes when it shows 2 pm.
