Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Cholesterol is actually part lipid, part protein. This is why the different kinds of cholesterol are called lipoproteins.
Detailed explanation-2: -Cholesterol is a type of fat, and fats can’t travel in the blood on their own. They need to be attached to proteins. Lipoproteins are little parcels made of fats and proteins that carry fats around the body. Lipid is another name for fat, so ‘lipoprotein’ means fat plus protein.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fat and cholesterol can’t dissolve in water or blood. Instead, the body packages fat and cholesterol into tiny, protein-covered particles called lipoproteins.
