Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

LDL (low-density lipoprotein) contains the highest percentage of cholesterol among the options given. This is because LDL delivers cholesterol to tissues and organs throughout the body, and excess levels of LDL can lead to the buildup of cholesterol in the arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease. HDL (high-density lipoprotein) is the "good" cholesterol that helps remove excess cholesterol from the body, while chylomicrons and VLDL (very low-density lipoprotein) mainly contain triglycerides, not cholesterol.
