What is ALP’s ‘job’?
A
facilitates the transfer of metabolites across cell membranes and is associated with glucose transport and the calcification process in bone degeneration
B
facilitates the transfer of metabolites across cell membranes and is associated with protein transport and the calcification process in bone synthesis
C
facilitates the transfer of metabolites across cell membranes and is associated with enzyme transport and the calcification process in bone degeneration
D
facilitates the transfer of metabolites across cell membranes and is associated with lipid transport and the calcification process in bone synthesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -ALP increases inorganic phosphate local rates and facilitates mineralization as well as reduces the extracellular pyrophosphate concentration, an inhibitor of mineral formation.

Detailed explanation-2: -LDL carries the majority of the cholesterol that is in the circulation.

Detailed explanation-3: -Structural lipids are mostly synthesized in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), from which they are actively transported to the membranes of other organelles.
