What is also known as the lipid necessary for normal transport and utilization of other lipids, especially in the liver?

Correct option is B

Ans. (b)
Sol. Lecithin is a phospholipid that plays a critical role in the transport and metabolism of lipids, especially in the liver. It is essential for the emulsification of fats, helps in the formation of lipoproteins, and is crucial for maintaining cell membrane integrity. Lecithin also aids in preventing fatty liver.
Explanation of each option:
· (a) Cardiolipin – Found in mitochondrial membranes, essential for mitochondrial function but not specifically for lipid transport.
· (b) Lecithin – Correct answer. A key lipid involved in fat transport and metabolism, particularly in the liver.
· (c) Cephalin – Another type of phospholipid, found in brain and nervous tissues, less involved in lipid transport.
· (d) Plasmogens – Ether phospholipids found in cell membranes, with roles in antioxidant defense, but not primarily in lipid transport.
