Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dietary lipids are absorbed by the small intestine and packaged into chylomicrons, which are then transported through the lymphatic system and eventually enter the bloodstream. Chylomicrons are the lipoprotein particles specifically designed for transport of dietary lipids. The other lipoprotein particles mentioned (HDL, IDL, VLDL, LDL) are involved in the transport of lipids in the body, but not in the transport of dietary lipids.
