GROUP 1 QUIZ IN BIOCHEMISTRY (LIPIDS)

BSEd 4-3 (TFri 9:00 – 10:30)

1. Cholesterol is the most abundant steroid lipid in the body, it plays a vital role in the cell repair
and the formation of new cells. What will happen if the cholesterol combines with other
compounds in your blood?

A. Your blood circulation will be stable and increase your heart rate.

B. It can build up as plaque in your arteries, blocking blood flow to and from the heart and thus
increases your risk of cardiovascular disease.

C. Increase the risk of airborne disease.

D. It increases the risk of respiratory disease.

2. When certain lipids are placed into water, they spontaneously rearrange themselves to form
lipid aggregates. What specific lipid when placed in an aqueous environment will spontaneously
form a structure called micelles?

A. Phospholipids

B. Glycolipids

C. Fatty Acids

D. Lipids

3. Lipid aggregates can be classify into three major membranes, the micelle, bilayer and liposomes.
Each aggregate have different properties but they have similar “driving force” that led them to
form membranes. What is the driving force?

A. London forces

B. Hydrogen bonds

C. Hydrophobic effect

D. Electric and hydrogen bonds

4. The following are functions of lipids in the cellular processes, which of the following is
INCORRECT?

A. It facilitate cell to cell recognition

B. It Increases your blood sugar level

C. It regulates the entry of ions, solvents and molecules

D. It serves as energy storage for future use

5. What will be formed when a carbohydrates is attracted to phospholipid?

A. Micelle

B. Steroid

C. Glycolipid

D. Phospholipid bilayer

6. A phospholipid is composed by a hydrophilic held and hydrophobic tails. Hence, it is a

___________.

A. Amphipathic

B. Dynamic

C. polar

D. Non-polar

7. Which of the following BEST defines or describe lipoproteins?

A. Lipoproteins are synthesized in the liver and intestines

B. Lipoproteins are soluble complexes of proteins and lipids that transport lipids in the circulation
of all vertebrates and even insects

C. Lipoproteins are insoluble aggregates of lipids and proteins where enzymes are needed to
transfer them to be different parts of our body

D. Lipoproteins are classified as chylomicrons, VLDL, LDL, and HDL.

8. LDL is consist of chiefly cholesterol which result to an increase of cardiovascular disease, hence,
HDLs, Play an important role in lowering the risk of heart diseases. Which of the following is the
BEST possible situation for a low risk of heart disease?

A. Huge amount of LDL must be brought back to the intestine by the HDL so that lesser amount of
cholesterol is found in the bloodstream.

B. There should be a very low level of LDL in our body which is beneficial to our health.

C. A zero level of LDL is the most beneficial to our health since no more cholesterol are clogged in
our bloodstream.

D. A high level of HDL must be produced in our body so that our total cholesterol level must only
be equal to our LDL level, hence, a lower risk of heart disease.

C. Temperature

D. Sterol Content

10. What is the kind of active transport which engulfs particles into vesicle via pseudopodia
formation?
